摘要:

在凝聚态物理中,热容是一个非常宝贵的量,但由于其超快的热弛豫时间和缺乏合适的纳米级温度计,到目前为止,在二维(2D)范德华(vdW)材料中,它一直是实验无法达到的。在这里,我们展示了一种新的热弛豫量热方案,允许第一次测量的电子热容的石墨烯Ce。它是由一个射频约翰逊噪声温度计和一个超快光混合光学加热器组成的,前者可以测量电子温度Te,测量灵敏度为δTe ~ 20 mK,后者可以同时调制Te,频率高达Ω=0.2 THz。这种组合允许记录灵敏和记录快速测量电子热容Ce < 10^(-19)J/K,电子热弛豫时间τe < 10^(-13),与以前的最先进的量热计相比,代表了数量级的改进。这些特征体现了纳米尺度和低维体系热容计量学的突破,为研究其热力学量提供了新的途径。

英文摘要:

Heat capacity is an invaluable quantity in condensed matter physics, yet it has been so far experimentally inaccessible in two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) materials, owing to their ultra-fast thermal relaxation times and the lack of suitable nano-scale thermometers. Here, we demonstrate a novel thermal relaxation calorimetry scheme that allows the first measurements of the electronic heat capacity of graphene Ce. It is enabled by the grouping of a radio-frequency Johnson noise thermometer, which can measure the electronic temperature Te with a measurement sensitivity of δTe ~ 20 mK, and an ultra-fast photo-mixed optical heater, which can simultaneously modulate Te with a frequency of up to Ω=0.2 THz. This combination allows record sensitive and record fast measurements of the electronic heat capacity Ce < 10^(-19) J/K, with an electronic thermal relaxation time τe < 10^(-13), representing orders of magnitude improvements as compared to previous state-of-the-art calorimeters. These features embody a breakthrough in heat capacity metrology of nano-scale and low-dimensional systems, and provide a new avenue for the investigation of their thermodynamic quantities.
