摘要:

电子光学类比光学与光子学,研究并利用固态器件中载流子的波动特性以探索相干现象,通常需要依托二维电子气与超导体中宏观相干电荷输运的复杂电子器件。本研究通过缺陷工程在一种简单且反直觉的结构中诱导出集体相干效应:石墨烯中确定性引入的晶格缺陷充当势垒而非传统认知中的散射中心,从而实现相位相干电荷输运,使石墨烯保留准弹道量子输运特性,可支持相位匹配的载流子波。基于该方法,通过低能电子束辐照制备周期性交替的缺陷纳米条纹与本征纳米条纹,构建了多个电子Fabry-Pèrot(法布里-珀罗)腔:缺陷条纹作为部分反射镜,将载流子波共振限制在本征区域内,产生法布里-珀罗共振模式,这些模式在实验中表现为面电阻振荡,Landauer-Büttiker(朗道尔-毕特克)模拟也证实了这一结果。此外,与传统单极静电制备的法布里-珀罗干涉仪不同,上述相干现象在两种极性载流子下均可在最高30 K的温度下维持。本研究将缺陷石墨烯确立为相干电子器件的创新平台,在纳米技术与量子技术中具有应用潜力。

英文摘要:

Harnessing the wave-nature of charge carriers in solid state devices, electron optics investigates and exploits coherent phenomena, in analogy with optics and photonics. Typically, this requires complex electronic devices leveraging macroscopically coherent charge transport in two-dimensional electron gases and superconductors. Here, collective coherent effects are induced in a simple counterintuitive architecture by defect engineering. Deterministically introduced lattice defects in graphene enable the phase coherent charge transport by playing the role of potential barriers, instead of scattering centres as conventionally considered. Thus, graphene preserves its quasi-ballistic quantum transport and can support phase-matched charge carrier waves. Based on this approach, multiple electronic Fabry-Pèrot cavities are formed by creating periodically alternating defective and pristine nano-stripes through low energy electron-beam irradiation. Indeed, defective stripes behave as partially reflecting mirrors and resonantly confine the charge carrier waves within the pristine areas, giving rise to Fabry-Pèrot resonant modes. These modes experimentally manifest as sheet resistance oscillations, as also confirmed by Landauer-Büttiker simulations. Moreover, these coherent phenomena survive up to 30 K for both polarities of charge carriers, contrarily to traditional monopolar electrostatically created Fabry-Pèrot interferometers. Our study positions defective graphene as an innovative platform for coherent electronic devices, with potential applications in nano and quantum technologies.
