Characterization and manipulation of intervalley scattering induced by an individual monovacancy in graphene
arXiv:2206.05938 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.129.096402
Abstract
Intervalley scattering involves microscopic processes that electrons are scattered by atomic-scale defects on nanometer length scales. Although central to our understanding of electronic properties of materials, direct characterization and manipulation of range and strength of the intervalley scattering induced by an individual atomic defect have so far been elusive. Using scanning tunneling microscope, we visualized and controlled intervalley scattering from an individual monovacancy in graphene. By directly imaging the affected range of intervalley scattering of the monovacancy, we demonstrated that it is inversely proportional to the energy, i.e., it is proportional to the wavelength of massless Dirac Fermions. A giant electron-hole asymmetry of the intervalley scattering is observed because that the monovacancy is charged. By further charging the monovacancy, the bended electronic potential around the monovacancy softened the scattering potential, which, consequently, suppressed the intervalley scattering of the monovacancy.
