石墨烯纳米晶超晶格的低偏压负微分电阻

Low Bias Negative Differential Resistance in Graphene Nanoribbon Superlattices

Gerson J. Ferreira, Michael N. Leuenberger, Daniel Loss, J. Carlos Egues

摘要:

我们理论上研究了半导体扶手椅型石墨烯纳米晶(aGNR)超晶格(5 ~ 20个势垒)在低偏压(V_SD < 500 mV)下的弹道输运负微分电阻(NDR)。我们结合石墨烯的狄拉克哈密顿量与Landauer-Büttiker形式来计算通过系统的电流I_SD。我们发现发生负折射的三种不同的输运区域:(i)宽层的“经典”区域,通过该区域,跨带隙的输运被强烈抑制,由于不同层的带隙交叉,导致几乎为1的交替区域和作为V_SD的函数的零传输概率;(ii)由超晶格能带传导主导的量子区,随着V_SD的增加,能带态的错位引起电流抑制;和(iii)一个Wannier-Stark阶梯制度与电流峰值发生在交叉点的Wannier-Stark梯级从不同的阶梯。我们观察到NDR在电压偏置低至10 mV,具有高电流密度,使aGNR超晶格有吸引力的器件应用。

英文摘要:

We theoretically investigate negative differential resistance (NDR) for ballistic transport in semiconducting armchair graphene nanoribbon (aGNR) superlattices (5 to 20 barriers) at low bias voltages V_SD < 500 mV. We combine the graphene Dirac Hamiltonian with the Landauer-Büttiker formalism to calculate the current I_SD through the system. We find three distinct transport regimes in which NDR occurs: (i) a "classical" regime for wide layers, through which the transport across band gaps is strongly suppressed, leading to alternating regions of nearly unity and zero transmission probabilities as a function of V_SD due to crossing of band gaps from different layers; (ii) a quantum regime dominated by superlattice miniband conduction, with current suppression arising from the misalignment of miniband states with increasing V_SD; and (iii) a Wannier-Stark ladder regime with current peaks occurring at the crossings of Wannier-Stark rungs from distinct ladders. We observe NDR at voltage biases as low as 10 mV with a high current density, making the aGNR superlattices attractive for device applications.
