Si Wu, Matthew Killi, Arun Paramekanti

摘要:

单层和双层石墨烯中的超晶格(SL)由空间周期性势变化形成,导致具有可调各向异性速度的额外有限能量和零能量狄拉克费米子的修改的能带结构。我们从理论上表明,在弱垂直(轨道)磁场中的运输允许一个不仅可以探测紧急狄拉克点的数量,但也产生进一步的信息,他们的色散。或单层石墨烯,我们发现,适度的磁场可以导致由SL势施加的输运各向异性的强烈反转,这是由于零能量朗道能级的SL诱导色散而产生的效果。这种效应可以在开关或其他设备中找到有用的应用。对于双层石墨烯,我们讨论的朗道水平波函数和局部状态密度的结构中存在的一个均匀的偏置,以及在偏置的存在下,导致拓扑约束的“边缘状态”的扭结。我们认为这些结果的影响,扫描隧道光谱测量,谷过滤,和杂质引起的击穿的量子霍尔效应在双层石墨烯。

英文摘要:

Superlattices (SLs) in monolayer and bilayer graphene, formed by spatially periodic potential variations, lead to a modified bandstructure with extra finite-energy and zero-energy Dirac fermions with tunable anisotropic velocities. We theoretically show that transport in a weak perpendicular (orbital) magnetic field allows one to not only probe the number of emergent Dirac points but also yields further information about their dispersion. or monolayer graphene, we find that a moderate magnetic field can lead to a strong reversal of the transport anisotropy imposed by the SL potential, an effect which arises due to the SL induced dispersion of the zero energy Landau levels. This effect may find useful applications in switching or other devices. For bilayer graphene, we discuss the structure of Landau level wave functions and local density of states in the presence of a uniform bias, as well as in the presence of a kink in the bias which leads to topologically bound `edge states'. We consider implications of these results for scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements, valley filtering, and impurity induced breakdown of the quantum Hall effect in bilayer graphene.
