چکیده

We perform low-temperature electrical transport measurements on gated, quasi-2D graphite quantum dots. In devices with low contact resistances, we use longitudinal and Hall resistances to extract carrier densities of 9.2-13 x 10(12) cm(-2) and mobilities of 200-1900 cm(2)/V.s. In devices with high resistance contacts, we observe Coulomb blockade phenomena and infer the charging energies and capacitive couplings. These experiments demonstrate that electrons in mesoscopic graphite pieces are delocalized over nearly the whole graphite piece down to low temperatures.

Coulomb blockade of tunnelling through compressible rings formed around an antidot: an explanation for h/2e Aharonov-Bohm oscillations

We consider single-electron tunnelling through antidot states using a Coulomb-blockade model, and give an explanation for h/2e Aharonov-Bohm oscillations, which are observed experimentally when the two spins of the lowest Landau level form bound states. We show that the edge channels may contain compressible regions, and using simple electrostatics, that the resonance through the outer spin sta...

noise in coupled dots and the “ fractional charges ”

We consider the problem of shot noise in resonant tunneling through double quantum dots in the case of interacting particles. Using a many-body quantum mechanical description we evaluate the energy dependent transmission probability, the total average current and the shot noise spectrum. Our results show that the obtained reduction of the noise spectrum, due to Coulomb interaction, can be inter...

Experimental Observation of Quantum Hall Effect and Berry ’ s Phase in Graphene

When electrons are confined in two-dimensional (2D) materials, quantum mechanically enhanced transport phenomena, as exemplified by the quantum Hall effects (QHE), can be observed. Graphene, an isolated single atomic layer of graphite, is an ideal realization of such a 2D system. Its behaviour is, however, expected to differ dramatically from the well-studied case of quantum wells in convention...

Mechanical and Electrical Properties of Graphene Sheets

This thesis examines the electrical and mechanical properties of graphene sheets. We perform low temperature electrical transport measurements on gated, quasi-2D graphite quantum dots. In devices with low contact resistances, we use longitudinal and Hall resistances to extract a carrier density of 2-6 x 10 11 holes per sheet and a mobility of 200-1900 cm 2 /V-s. In devices with high resistance ...

Quantum Hall droplets in coupled lateral quantum dots

We present a theory and Coulomb and Spin Blockade spectroscopy experiments on quantum Hall droplets with controlled electron numbers (N1,N2) in laterally coupled gated quantum dots. The theory is based on the configuration interaction method (CI) coupled with the unrestricted Hartree-Fock (URHF) basis. It allows us to calculate the magnetic field evolution of ground and excited states of couple...
