本研究探究外延石墨烯中ν=6量子霍尔平台宽度的影响因素,通过实验发现迁移率与无序共同决定平台宽度而非仅载流子密度,并结合输运模拟揭示了杂质的关键作用。

摘要:

自发现以来,石墨烯凭借其独特性质与广泛的潜在应用,一直是最受关注的二维材料之一。特别是以霍尔电阻率随外加磁场变化呈现量子化为特征的半整数量子霍尔效应(HI-QHE),为量子计量学的发展以及理解这种二维材料中的拓扑量子态提供了机遇。尽管无序在稳定量子霍尔平台(QHP)方面的作用已得到广泛认可,但平台宽度、无序、迁移率与载流子密度之间的精确相互作用仍有待深入探究。在本研究中,我们调查了外延石墨烯霍尔棒中ν=6量子霍尔平台的宽度,重点研究了器件上两个电子迁移率显著不同的 distinct 区域。根据存储条件的不同,可以改变石墨烯量子霍尔效应器件的载流子密度,进而提高或降低迁移率。我们的实验显示,迁移率相对于初始值的变化幅度最高可达200%。尤其是样品的存储时间和环境条件,还会导致量子霍尔平台的位置和延伸范围发生明显变化。我们的结果表明,ν=6的量子霍尔平台延伸范围在两个区域之间存在显著差异,这一差异受迁移率和无序的共同影响,而非仅由载流子密度决定。基于标度模型中结合安德森无序的朗道尔-毕蒂克(Landauer-Büttiker)形式论的输运模拟,揭示了杂质在塑造石墨烯输运特性、决定量子霍尔平台延伸范围方面的关键作用。本研究为理解石墨烯系统中迁移率、无序与量子输运之间的相互作用提供了宝贵见解。

英文摘要:

Since its discovery, graphene has been one of the most prominent 2D materials due to its unique properties and broad range of possible applications. In particular, the half-integer Quantum Hall Effect (HI-QHE) characterized by the quantization of Hall resistivity as a function of applied magnetic field, offers opportunities for advancements in quantum metrology and the understanding of topological quantum states in this 2D material. While the role of disorder in stabilizing quantum Hall plateaus (QHPs) is widely recognized, the precise interplay between the plateaus width, disorder, mobility and carrier density remains less explored. In this work, we investigate the width of the $ν=6$ QHP in epitaxial graphene Hall bars, focusing on two distinct regions of the device with markedly different electronic mobilities. Depending on the storage conditions, it is possible to modify the carrier density of graphene QHE devices and consequently increase or reduce the mobility. Our experiments reveal mobility variations of up to 200$\%$ from their initial value. In particular, the sample storage time and ambient conditions cause also noticeable changes in the positions and extension of the QHPs. Our results show that the QHP extension for $ν=6$ differs significantly between the two regions, influenced by both mobility and disorder, rather than solely by carrier density. Transport simulations based on the Landauer-Büttiker formalism with Anderson disorder in a scaled model reveal the critical role of impurities in shaping graphene transport properties defining the extension of the QHPs. This study provides valuable insights into the interplay between mobility, disorder, and quantum transport in graphene systems.
