摘要:

我们研究了在最小扭曲双层石墨烯中出现的作为基本电流分配节点的三条拓扑零线的交叉点处的电子输运性质。与两条相交零线的分割律不同,我们发现(i)输入电流可以被分割成左右相邻的拓扑通道,(ii)向前传播的电流是非零的。通过将费米能量从电荷中性点调谐到带边缘,分配到三个出射通道的电流变得几乎相等。此外,我们还发现,电流分配节点可以设计成一个完美的谷值滤波器和能量分配器控制的电动门。通过改变相对电场大小,可以将三条拓扑零线的交点平滑地转化为一条零线,从而实现对电流分配的精确控制。通过改变费米能级、能隙大小和中心无带隙区的大小,系统地探索了调制这种器件的可行方法。电流分区还受磁场和系统尺寸的影响。我们的研究结果提供了一个微观描述的电子输运特性周围的最小扭曲双层石墨烯的晶胞,并在电子分束器和干涉仪设备的设计具有深远的影响。

英文摘要:

We study the electronic transport properties at the intersection of three topological zero-lines as the elementary current partition node that arises in minimally twisted bilayer graphene. Unlike the partition laws of two intersecting zero-lines, we find that (i) the incoming current can be partitioned into both left-right adjacent topological channels and that (ii) the forward-propagating current is nonzero. By tuning the Fermi energy from the charge-neutrality point to a band edge, the currents partitioned into the three outgoing channels become nearly equal. Moreover, we find that current partition node can be designed as a perfect valley filter and energy splitter controlled by electric gating. By changing the relative electric field magnitude, the intersection of three topological zero-lines can transform smoothly into a single zero line, and the current partition can be controlled precisely. We explore the available methods for modulating this device systematically by changing the Fermi energy, the energy gap size, and the size of central gapless region. The current partition is also influenced by magnetic fields and the system size. Our results provide a microscopic depiction of the electronic transport properties around a unit cell of minimally twisted bilayer graphene and have far-reaching implications in the design of electron-beam splitters and interferometer devices.
