自旋轨道耦合石墨烯中巨非局域电阻的数值研究

Numerical study of the giant nonlocal resistance in spin-orbital coupled graphene

摘要:

最近的实验在H型石墨烯样品中发现了由于自旋/谷霍尔效应引起的巨非局域电阻$R_{NL}$信号。有趣的是,当费米能级偏离狄拉克点时,$R_{NL}$比局域电阻$R_L$更快地下降到零,并且不满足众所周知的$R_{NL}\propto R_L^3$关系。在这项工作中,基于非平衡格林函数方法,我们解释了这种输运现象的H型石墨烯与Rashba自旋轨道耦合。当费米能接近狄拉克点时,非局域电阻相当大,并且比局域电阻尖锐得多。此外,与$R_L$相比,进一步研究了Rashba效应与$R_{NL}$快衰减之间的关系。我们发现,Rashba效应不仅有助于快速衰减,但也对$R_{NL}$本身的峰值。实际上,正是狄拉克点附近极小的态密度导致了$R_{NL}$的大峰值,而快衰减则是准弹道机制的结果。最后,我们修正了经典的计算公式$R_{NL}\propto R_L^3$,将$R_{NL}$替换为仅代表自旋霍尔效应引起的非局域电阻的$R_{Hall}$,证明了该关系式的正确性.

英文摘要:

Recent experiments find the signal of giant nonlocal resistance $R_{NL}$ in H-shaped graphene samples due to the spin/valley Hall effect. Interestingly, when the Fermi energy deviates from the Dirac point, $R_{NL}$ decreases to zero much more rapidly compared with the local resistance $R_L$, and the well-known relation of $R_{NL}\propto R_L^3$ is not satisfied. In this work, based on the non-equilibrium Green's function method, we explain such transport phenomena in the H-shaped graphene with Rashba spin-orbit coupling. When the Fermi energy is near the Dirac point, the nonlocal resistance is considerably large and is much sharper than the local one. Moreover, the relationship between the Rashba effect and the fast decay of $R_{NL}$ compared with $R_L$ is further investigated. We find that the Rashba effect does not contribute not only to the fast decay but also to the peak of $R_{NL}$ itself. Actually, it is the extremely small density of states near the Dirac point that leads to the large peak of $R_{NL}$, while the fast decay results from the quasi-ballistic mechanism. Finally, we revise the classic formula $R_{NL}\propto R_L^3$ by replacing $R_{NL}$ with $R_{Hall}$, which represents the nonlocal resistance merely caused by the spin Hall effect, and the relation holds well.
