Abstract: This paper considers the Cauchy problem for a two-dimensional massless Dirac equation in graphene with a constant electric field. It is assumed that, initially, the localized wave function describes quasi-electrons with momenta lying in the right half-plane. The article describes an effect based on the phenomenon of changing the multiplicity of terms (characteristics), leading to Klein tunneling. After some time, a hole component appears in addition to the wave function for the electron component. They move in opposite directions, with the hole component localized in the vicinity of the moving point.

Keywords: Dirac equation for graphene, localized initial condition, Maslov canonical operator, Klein tunneling
