Edge channel confinement in a bilayer graphene $n$-$p$-$n$ quantum dot

Abstract

We combine electrostatic and magnetic confinement to define a quantum dot in bilayer graphene. The employed geometry couples $n$-doped reservoirs to a $p$-doped dot. At magnetic field values around $B=2$T, Coulomb blockade is observed. This demonstrates that the coupling of the co-propagating modes at the $p$-$n$ interface is weak enough to form a tunnel barrier, facilitating transport of single charge carriers onto the dot. This result may be of use for quantum Hall interferometry experiments.
