Electron flow in split-gated bilayer graphene

Observation of distinct electron-phonon couplings in gated bilayer graphene.

A Raman study of a back gated bilayer graphene sample is presented. The changes in the Fermi level induced by charge transfer splits the Raman G band, hardening its higher component and softening the lower one. These two components are associated with the symmetric (S) and antisymmetric vibration (AS) of the atoms in the two layers, the later one becoming Raman active due to inversion symmetry ...

Photothermal response in dual-gated bilayer graphene.

The photovoltaic and bolometric photoresponse in gapped bilayer graphene was investigated by optical and transport measurements. A pulse coincidence technique at 1.5 μm was used to measure the response times as a function of temperature. The bolometric and photovoltaic response times were found to be identical implying that the photovoltaic response is also governed by hot electron thermal rela...

Broken-symmetry states in doubly gated suspended bilayer graphene.

The single-particle energy spectra of graphene and its bilayer counterpart exhibit multiple degeneracies that arise through inherent symmetries. Interactions among charge carriers should spontaneously break these symmetries and lead to ordered states that exhibit energy gaps. In the quantum Hall regime, these states are predicted to be ferromagnetic in nature, whereby the system becomes spin po...

Electronic spin transport in dual-gated bilayer graphene

The elimination of extrinsic sources of spin relaxation is key to realizing the exceptional intrinsic spin transport performance of graphene. Toward this, we study charge and spin transport in bilayer graphene-based spin valve devices fabricated in a new device architecture that allows us to make a comparative study by separately investigating the roles of the substrate and polymer residues on ...
