石墨烯中电子的反常热扩散

Anomalous thermodiffusion of electrons in graphene

Deng Pan, Hongxing Xu, F. Javier García de Abajo

摘要:

我们揭示了一个戏剧性的离开,在固体中的电子热扩散相对于普遍接受的理想自由电子气模型的图片。特别是,我们表明,与晶格和杂质的相互作用,结合强烈的材料依赖性的电子色散关系,导致违反直觉的扩散行为,我们确定通过比较单层二维电子气(2DEG)和石墨烯。当受到温度梯度$\nabla T$时,石墨烯中的无质量狄拉克电子的热扩散表现出异常行为,电子沿着$\nabla T$移动并在热区域中积累,这与具有抛物线色散的2DEG中的正常电子扩散相反,其中观察到针对$\nabla T$的净运动,伴随着热区域中的电子耗尽。这些发现对于理解新兴材料中的空间电子动力学具有根本的重要性,与处理非均匀温度条件下电子系统的物理学其他分支建立了密切的关系。

英文摘要:

We reveal a dramatic departure of electron thermodiffusion in solids relative to the commonly accepted picture of the ideal free-electron gas model. In particular, we show that the interaction with the lattice and impurities, combined with a strong material dependence of the electron dispersion relation, leads to counterintuitive diffusion behavior, which we identify by comparing a single-layer two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and graphene. When subject to a temperature gradient $\nabla T$, thermodiffusion of massless Dirac electrons in graphene exhibits an anomalous behavior with electrons moving along $\nabla T$ and accumulating in hot regions, in contrast to normal electron diffusion in a 2DEG with parabolic dispersion, where net motion against $\nabla T$ is observed, accompanied by electron depletion in hot regions. These findings have fundamentally importance for the understanding of the spatial electron dynamics in emerging material, establishing close relations with other branches of physics dealing with electron systems under nonuniform temperature conditions.
