Probing the Anisotropic Fermi Surface in Tetralayer Graphene via Transverse Magnetic Focusing
arXiv:2404.05038 · doi:10.1021/acs.nanolett.4c01133
Abstract
Bernal-stacked tetralayer graphene (4LG) exhibits intriguing low-energy properties, featuring two massive subbands and showcasing diverse features of topologically distinct, anisotropic Fermi surfaces, including Lifshitz transitions and trigonal warping. Here, we study the influence of the band structure on electron dynamics within 4LG using transverse magnetic focusing. Our analysis reveals two distinct focusing peaks corresponding to the two subbands. Furthermore, we uncover a pronounced dependence of the focusing spectra on crystal orientations, indicative of an anisotropic Fermi surface. Utilizing the semiclassical model, we attribute this orientation-dependent behavior to the trigonal warping of the band structure. This phenomenon leads to variations in electron trajectories based on crystal orientation. Our findings not only enhance our understanding of the dynamics of electrons in 4LG, but also offer a promising method for probing anisotropic Fermi surfaces in other materials.
