莫尔石墨烯中扭转角畴间的输运

Transport across twist angle domains in moiré graphene

Bikash Padhi, Apoorv Tiwari, Titus Neupert, Shinsei Ryu

摘要:

扭曲双层石墨烯(TBG)的许多实验在它们的相图的细节方面彼此不同。除了几个可控方面之外,这种差异在很大程度上被认为是由于不同样品之间存在不同程度的扭转角不均匀性而引起的。真实空间图确实揭示了TBG器件分裂成几个不同扭曲角的大域。出于这些观察,我们研究了量子力学隧道穿过域壁(DW),分隔两个这样的区域。我们表明,隧道的莫尔粒子可以理解的形成一个有效的步骤潜在的DW。该阶跃电位的高度仅仅是扭转角差异的量度。这些计算使我们能够识别用于检测和量化局部扭转角变化的全局传输签名。特别地,使用Landauer-Büttiker形式主义,我们计算单通道电导($dI/dV$)和Fano因子的散粒噪声(噪声功率和平均电流的比率)。一个零偏置,亚毫电子伏的运输间隙中观察到的电导与台阶电位的高度成比例。我们的工作的一个关键发现是,在扭曲角不均匀性的存在下,运输是“嘈杂”的,虽然亚泊松。特别地,微分Fano因子在对应于样品中的域的van Hove能量附近达到峰值。峰值的位置和强度只是扭转角不均匀性程度的量度。

英文摘要:

Many of the experiments in twisted bilayer graphene (TBG) differ from each other in terms of the details of their phase diagrams. Few controllable aspects aside, this discrepancy is largely believed to be arising from the presence of a varying degree of twist angle inhomogeneity across different samples. Real space maps indeed reveal TBG devices splitting into several large domains of different twist angles. Motivated by these observations, we study the quantum mechanical tunneling across a domain wall (DW) that separates two such regions. We show that the tunneling of the moiré particles can be understood by the formation of an effective step potential at the DW. The height of this step potential is simply a measure of the difference in twist angles. These computations lead us to identify the global transport signatures for detecting and quantifying the local twist angle variations. In particular, Using Landauer-Büttiker formalism we compute single-channel conductance ($dI/dV$) and Fano factor for shot noise (ratio of noise power and mean current). A zero-bias, sub-meV transport gap is observed in the conductance which scales with the height of the step potential. One of the key findings of our work is that transport in presence of twist angle inhomogeneity is "noisy", though sub-Poissonian. In particular, the differential Fano factor peaks near the van Hove energies corresponding to the domains in the sample. The location and the strength of the peak is simply a measure of the degree of twist angle inhomogeneity.
