摘要:

通过栅极调控在石墨烯中诱导的p-n结,可使其两侧的电子与空穴边缘态形成对比。在磁场中,这些边缘态承载两类持续电流,它们与边缘模谱紧密关联。我们研究了费米能级变化时,结两侧的持续电流如何变化,重点关注狄拉克电子的电子-空穴共轭特性。我们深入考察了由负能电子填充的价带(即狄拉克海)的电磁响应,发现其整体呈电中性,但表现出内禀轨道抗磁性。近期实验中,借助纳米级磁力计,已能够观测平面样品中的局域电流。石墨烯及相关原子层中的p-n结,通过检测其关联的微观电流,将成为探索多体量子现象的有用平台。

英文摘要:

A p-n junction, induced in graphene by gating, works to contrast the edge states of electrons and holes on each side of it. In a magnetic field those edge states carry two species of persistent current, which are intimately tied to the edge-mode spectra. We study how those persistent currents change along each side of the junction as the Fermi level is varied, with special emphasis on the electron-hole conjugation property of the Dirac electrons. A close look is made into the electromagnetic response of the valence band filled with negative-energy electrons, or the Dirac sea, which as a whole turns out to be electrically inactive while showing intrinsic orbital diamagnetism. Recently, in experiment, it became possible to observe local currents in planar samples by use of a nanoscale magnetometer. The p-n junctions in graphene and related atomic layers, via detection of associated microscopic currents, will be a useful platform for exploring many-body quantum phenomena.
