Quantum Hall effect in graphene: Status and prospects
نویسنده
چکیده
Graphene is the recently discovered two-dimensional (2D) one atom thick allotrope of carbon. Electrons in graphene, obeying a linear dispersion relation, behave like massless relativistic particles. It is a 2D nanomaterial with many peculiar properties. It is the thinnest material in the universe and the strongest ever measured. Its charge carriers exhibit intrinsic mobility and can travel micrometer-long distances without scattering at room temperature. Its unconventional Landau level spectrum of massless Dirac fermions leads to a new type of integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) [known as half-integer quantum Hall effect or anomalous quantum Hall effect] which remains visible up to room temperature. Although, the conclusive evidence for collective behaviour of electrons in graphene is lacking so far, recently scientists have observed the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in graphene experimentally. In this review article, we discuss the IQHE and the FQHE in graphene briefly.

Fractional quantum Hall effect in graphene
The electrons in most of the conductors can be described by non-relativistic quantum mechanics but the electrons in graphene behave as massless relativistic particles, called Dirac fermions, though their speed is given by the Fermi velocity. The relativistic nature of the energy dispersion relation of electrons in graphene modifies the inter electron interactions. This results in the observatio...
متن کاملpH Effect on the Size of Graphene Quantum dot Synthesized by Using Pulse Laser Irradiation
In this study graphene oxide (GO) was synthesized by using Hummer’s method. Low dimension graphene quantum dot nanoparticles (GQDs) were synthesized using pulse laser irradiation. Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Ultraviolet-Visible (UV-Vis) spectroscopy and photoluminescence (PL) analysis were applied to study the GQDs characteristic. Scanning electron microscopy illustrated the...
متن کاملبررسی اثر صحیح کوانتومی هال در سیستمهای دارای ناخالصی به روش تبدیل پیمانهای در حضور نقطههای کوانتومی
In this paper we study the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) on the systems with different types of impurities in delta and gaussian forms. The Landau energy levels in the presence of impurity split in two different levels,the extended and localized levels, emerging then the Hall step. Finally, we add a specified form of a quantum dot potential to a system with impurity, and observed that incr...
