Quantum transport in chemically functionalized graphene at high magnetic field: Defect-Induced Critical States and Breakdown of Electron-Hole Symmetry
arXiv:1405.3766 · doi:10.1088/2053-1583/1/2/021001
Abstract
Unconventional magneto-transport fingerprints in the quantum Hall regime (with applied magnetic field from one to several tens of Tesla) in chemically functionalized graphene are reported. Upon chemical adsorption of monoatomic oxygen (from 0.5% to few percents), the electron-hole symmetry of Landau levels is broken, while a double-peaked conductivity develops at low-energy, resulting from the formation of critical states conveyed by the random network of defects-induced impurity states. Scaling analysis hints towards the existence of an additional zero-energy quantized Hall conductance plateau, which is here not connected to degeneracy lifting of Landau levels by sublattice symmetry breakage. This singularly contrasts with usual interpretation, and unveils a new playground for tailoring the fundamental characteristics of the quantum Hall effect.
