强laser场作用下垂直石墨烯接触的输运

Transport through vertical graphene contacts under intense laser fields

Pascal Stadler, Tomas Löfwander, Mikael Fogelström

摘要:

我们从理论上研究了在时间周期性外光场作用下,绝缘层垂直耦合的两个石墨烯层的电子和输运性质。非绝热驱动诱导电子的激发和占据态的重新分布,这表现在石墨烯的准能谱中的间隙的打开。当在顶部和底部石墨烯层之间施加电压时,光致非平衡占据改变接触的输运性质。我们调查的电子和运输性质的接触,使用非平衡格林函数形式主义。为了说明光照射下垂直接触的微分电导的行为,我们考虑两种情况。首先,我们假设底层和顶层都由石墨烯组成,其次我们考虑底层中的有限质量项。我们得到的微分电导强烈抑制由于开放的准能谱中的石墨烯的间隙。此外,电导示出了对应于光激发电子的隧穿在范霍夫奇点的能量的顶层和底层的功能。在底层中的有限质量项的情况下,微分电导可以直接与光激发电子的隧穿有关。

英文摘要:

We theoretically study the electronic and transport properties of two graphene layers vertically coupled by an insulating layer under the influence of a time-periodic external light field. The non-adiabatic driving induces excitations of electrons and a redistribution of the occupied states which is manifested in the opening of gaps in the quasienergy spectrum of graphene. When a voltage is applied between the top and bottom graphene layers, the photo-induced nonequilibrium occupation modifies the transport properties of the contact. We investigate the electronic and transport properties of the contact by using the nonequilibrium Green's function formalism. To illustrate the behavior of the differential conductance of the vertical contact under the light illumination, we consider two cases. First, we assume that both the bottom and top layers consist of graphene and second we consider a finite mass term in the bottom layer. We obtain that the differential conductance is strongly suppressed due to the opening of gaps in the quasienergy spectrum in graphene. Additionally, the conductance shows features corresponding to the tunneling of photoexcited electrons at energies of the van Hove singularity for both the top and bottom layers. In the case of a finite mass term in the bottom layer, the differential conductance can be directly related to the tunneling of photoexcited electrons.
