双层石墨烯中自旋轨道相互作用的可调谐量子霍尔边导电

Tunable Quantum Hall Edge Conduction in Bilayer Graphene through Spin-Orbit Interaction

Jun Yong Khoo, Leonid Levitov

摘要:

双层石墨烯,在由适当选择的衬底诱导的单侧自旋轨道相互作用(SOI)的存在下,被预测表现出非常规的量子霍尔态。新的状态出现,由于强烈的SOI诱导分裂的八个零朗道水平,这是强烈的层极化,完全或部分驻留在两个石墨烯层之一。特别地,meV尺度的Ising SOI足以在中等弱磁场$B \lesssim 10$ T下反转$n=0$和$n=1$轨道能级之间的朗道能级顺序。此外,当伊辛场与$B$场相反时,自旋极化能级的顺序也可以反转。我们表明,在这些条件下,三个不同的补偿电子-空穴阶段,具有相等的电子和空穴浓度,可以发生在$ν= 0$填充。三相具有不同的边缘电导率值。其中一个阶段特别有趣,因为它的边缘导电可以通过切换层间偏置的符号来打开和关闭。

英文摘要:

Bilayer graphene, in the presence of a one-sided spin-orbit interaction (SOI) induced by a suitably chosen substrate, is predicted to exhibit unconventional Quantum Hall states. The new states arise due to strong SOI-induced splittings of the eight zeroth Landau levels, which are strongly layer-polarized, residing fully or partially on one of the two graphene layers. In particular, an Ising SOI in the meV scale is sufficient to invert the Landau level order between the $n=0$ and $n=1$ orbital levels under moderately weak magnetic fields $B \lesssim 10$T. Furthermore, when the Ising field opposes the $B$ field, the order of the spin-polarized levels can also be inverted. We show that, under these conditions, three different compensated electron-hole phases, with equal concentrations of electrons and holes, can occur at $ν= 0$ filling. The three phases have distinct edge conductivity values. One of the phases is especially interesting, since its edge conduction can be turned on and off by switching the sign of the interlayer bias.
