Time dependent scattering in graphene

In recent experiments transport in graphene is measured for high magnetic fields. In order to characterize the occurring effects we study the wave-packet propagation on graphene in a perpendicular magnetic field. We are particularly interested in periodic orbits and the Zitterbewegung. For complex setups we present an algorithm which solves the time dependent scattering problem in arbitrary shaped potentials and inhomogeneous magnetic fields. The numerically calculated time evolution of wave-packets shows the trembling motion as well as wave-packet revivals.
Furthermore we study the scattering of wave-packets on ripples and impurities.
