More than a decade ago, monolayer and bilayer graphene pnp junctions were shown to exhibit perfect transmission and perfect reflection upon normal incidence [1], known as Klein tunneling and anti-Klein tunneling, respectively. When the bilayer graphene is gapped by breaking the layer symmetry, however, the anti-Klein tunneling has been recently shown to be broken due to the departure of the Berry phase from 2π toward π [2]. A simple question naturally arose: Is it possible to tune the Berry phase from 2π of a gapless bilayer graphene to π of a largely gapped bilayer graphene, such that the anti-Klein tunneling becomes Klein tunneling? We have given an affirmative answer to this question in our latest work [3], involving both experiment and theory.
