Thermal dissipation in the quantum Hall regime in graphene
arXiv:2106.13605 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.104.115411
Abstract
It is widely accepted that both backscattering and dissipation cannot occur in topological systems because of the topological protection. Here we show that the thermal dissipation can occur in the quantum Hall (QH) regime in graphene in the presence of dissipation sources, although the Hall plateaus and the zero longitudinal resistance still survive. Dissipation appears along the downstream chiral flow direction of the constriction in the Hall plateau regime, but it occurs mainly in the bulk in the Hall plateau transition regime. In addition, dissipation processes are accompanied with the evolution of the energy distribution from non-equilibrium to equilibrium. This indicates that topology neither prohibits the appearance of dissipation nor prohibits entropy increasing, which opens a new topic on the dissipation in topological systems.
