Complex Fabry-Pérot interferences in ultraclean suspended graphene have been recently observed, with the ballistic origin confirmed by transport calculations well agreeing with experiment [1]. The observed conductance oscillations account for quantum interference of electron waves propagating ballistically over distances exceeding 1 µm. The complex interference patterns stem from Fabry-Pérot resonances within different cavities defined by electrically controlled pn junctions and the graphene-contact interfaces. In this talk, the theoretical part of this work [1], namely, the full modeling of the ballistic transport from contact to contact through the suspended graphene, will be illustrated at an appropriate depth.
