Coherent Jetting behind a gate-defined Channel in Bilayer Graphene
arXiv:2008.09145 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.046801
Abstract
Graphene has evolved as a platform for quantum transport that can compete with the best and cleanest semiconductor systems. Recently, many interesting local properties of carrier transport in graphene have been investigated by various scanning probe techniques. Here, we report on the observation of distinct electronic jets emanating from a narrow split-gate defined channel in bilayer graphene. We find that these jets, which are visible via their interference patterns, occur predominantly with an angle of 60° between each other. This observation is related to the specific bandstructure of bilayer graphene, in particular trigonal warping, which leads to a valley-dependent selection of momenta for low-energy conduction channels. This experimental observation of electron jetting has consequences for carrier transport in graphene in general as well as for devices relying on ballistic and valley selective transport.
