Strong equilibration of Landau levels edge-states at the graphene edge
arXiv:1904.04726
Abstract
We present the results of an experimental study of the interaction of quantized Landau level (LL) edge-states at the physical edge of graphene by using a graphene pn junction device with a ring-shaped geometry for the channel. The unique device geometry allows the interactions between edge-states to be probed at both electrostatic edges defined by pn junctions and at the graphene physical edge. Measurements show that while the lowest LL edge-state is decoupled from the other LLs along the electrostatic junction, all the edge-states strongly equilibrate at the graphene physical edge despite the relatively short distance that they travel along the edge in our device. These findings are fundamental for the engineering of future high-performance graphene field-effect transistors based upon electron optics.
