摘要:

具有锯齿形边缘的石墨烯纳米颗粒中的潜在台阶被证明是谷间散射的内在来源-无论该台阶在晶格常数a的尺度上多么平滑。谷由相对边缘处的一对局域态耦合,其充当在谷K/K '中传播的边缘态的吸引子/排斥子。沿局域态带的相对位移δ决定电导G。我们的结果G=(e^{2}/h)[1- \cos(Nπ+2πΔ/3 α)]解释了为什么“谷阀”效应(由pn结阻塞电流)取决于整个带中碳原子数N的奇偶性。

英文摘要:

A potential step in a graphene nanoribbon with zigzag edges is shown to be an intrinsic source of intervalley scattering -- no matter how smooth the step is on the scale of the lattice constant a. The valleys are coupled by a pair of localized states at the opposite edges, which act as an attractor/repellor for edge states propagating in valley K/K'. The relative displacement Delta along the ribbon of the localized states determines the conductance G. Our result G=(e^{2}/h)[1-\cos(Nπ+2πΔ/3a)] explains why the ``valley-valve'' effect (the blocking of the current by a p-n junction) depends on the parity of the number N of carbon atoms across the ribbon.
