英文摘要：

We show that the optical transparency of suspended graphene is defined by the fine structure constant, alpha, the parameter that describes coupling between light and relativistic electrons and is traditionally associated with quantum electrodynamics rather than condensed matter physics. Despite being only one atom thick, graphene is found to absorb a significant (pi times alpha=2.3%) fraction of incident white light, which is a consequence of graphene's unique electronic structure. This value translates into universal dynamic conductivity G =e^2/4h_bar within a few percent accuracy.

Quantized conductance of a suspended graphene nanoconstriction

A yet unexplored area in graphene electronics is the field of quantum ballistic transport through graphene nanostructures. Recent developments in the preparation of high mobility graphene are expected to lead to the experimental verification and/or discovery of many new quantum mechanical effects in this field. Examples are effects due to specific graphene edges, such as spin polarization at zigzag edges of a graphene nanoribbon and the use of the valley degree of freedom in the field of graphene valleytronics8. As a first step in this direction we present the observation of quantized conducta…

Singular elastic strains and magnetoconductance of suspended graphene

Graphene membranes suspended off electric contacts or other rigid supports are prone to elastic strain, which is concentrated at the edges and corners of the samples. Such a strain leads to an algebraically varying effective magnetic field that can reach a few Tesla in sub-micron wide flakes. In the quantum Hall regime the interplay of the effective and the physical magnetic fields causes backscattering of the chiral edge channels, which can destroy the quantized conductance plateaus.

Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in Suspended Graphene: Transport Coefficients and Electron Interaction Strength

Strongly correlated electron liquids which occur in quantizing magnetic fields reveal a cornucopia of fascinating quantum phenomena such as fractionally charged quasiparticles, anyonic statistics, topological order, and many others. Probing these effects in GaAs-based systems, where electron interactions are relatively weak, requires sub-kelvin temperatures and record-high electron mobilities, rendering some of the most interesting states too fragile and difficult to access. This prompted a quest for new high-mobility systems with stronger electron interactions. Recently, fractional-quantized …

Integer and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect in Two-Terminal Measurements on Suspended Graphene

We report the observation of the quantized Hall effect in suspended graphene probed with a two-terminal lead geometry. The failure of earlier Hall-bar measurements is discussed and attributed to the placement of voltage probes in mesoscopic samples. New quantized states are found at integer Landau level fillings outside the sequence 2,6,10.., as well as at a fractional filling ν=1/3. Their presence is revealed by plateaus in the two-terminal conductance which appear in magnetic fields as low as 2 Tesla at low temperatures and persist up to 20 Kelvin in 12 Tesla. The excitation gaps, extracted …

Broken symmetry states and divergent resistance in suspended bilayer graphene

Graphene [1] and its bilayer have generated tremendous excitement in the physics community due to their unique electronic properties [2]. The intrinsic physics of these materials, however, is partially masked by disorder, which can arise from various sources such as ripples [3] or charged impurities [4]. Recent improvements in quality have been achieved by suspending graphene flakes [5,6], yielding samples with very high mobilities and little charge inhomogeneity. Here we report the fabrication of suspended bilayer graphene devices with very little disorder. We observe fully developed quantize…

Quenching of the quantum Hall effect in graphene with scrolled edges

Edge nanoscrolls are shown to strongly influence transport properties of suspended graphene in the quantum Hall regime. The relatively long arc length of the scrolls in combination with their compact transverse size results in formation of many nonchiral transport channels in the scrolls. They short-circuit the bulk current paths and inhibit the observation of the quantized two-terminal resistance. Unlike competing theoretical proposals, this mechanism of disrupting the Hall quantization in suspended graphene is not caused by ill-chosen placement of the contacts, singular elastic strains, or a…

Observation of even denominator fractional quantum Hall effect in suspended bilayer graphene

We investigate low-temperature magneto-transport in recently developed, high-quality multi-terminal suspended bilayer graphene devices, enabling the independent measurement of the longitudinal and transverse resistance. We observe clear signatures of the fractional quantum Hall effect, with different states that are either fully developed, and exhibit a clear plateau in the transverse resistance with a concomitant dip in longitudinal resistance, or incipient, and exhibit only a longitudinal resistance minimum. All observed states scale as a function of filling factor nu, as expected. An unprec…
