The role of vector potential coupling in hot electron cooling power in bilayer graphene at low temperature
نویسنده
چکیده
We have studied, in bilayer graphene (BLG), the hot electron cooling power FVP (T, ns) due to acoustic phonons via vector potential (VP) coupling. It is calculated as a function of electron concentration ns and temperature T and compared with FDP (T, ns) that due to deformation potential coupling. For the ns around 1x10 12 cm, FVP (T, ns) is much smaller than FDP (T, ns). With increase of ns, FDP (T, ns) decreases faster than FVP (T, ns) does. A cross over is predicted and dominant contribution of FVP (T, ns) can be observed at large ns. In the BlochGrüneisen (BG) regime FVP (T, ns)~ ns -1/2 and FDP (T, ns)~ ns . Both FVP (T, ns) and FDP (T, ns) have the same T dependence with T 4 power law in BG regime. Behaviour of FDP (T, ns)~ ns -3/2 and T 4 is in agreement with the experimental results at moderate ns. Besides, in BG regime, we have predicted, for both the VP and DP coupling, a relation between F(T,ns) and the acoustic phonon limited mobility μp, opening a new door to determine μp from the measurements of F(T,ns)

Hot electron effects in graphene are significant because of graphene's small electronic heat capacity and weak electron-phonon coupling, yet the dynamics and cooling mechanisms of hot electrons in graphene are not completely understood.

We present thermal measurements of large-area (over 1000 μm2) monolayer graphene samples at cryogenic temperatures to study the electron-phonon thermal conductivity of graphene. By using two large samples with areas which differ by a factor of 10, we are able to clearly show the area dependence of the electron-phonon cooling. We find that, at temperatures far below the Bloch-Grüneisen temperatu...

We have investigated the energy loss of hot electrons in metallic graphene by means of GHz noise thermometry at liquid helium temperature. We observe the electronic temperature T ∝ V at low bias in agreement with the heat diffusion to the leads described by the Wiedemann-Franz law. We report on T ∝ √V behavior at high bias, which corresponds to a T(4) dependence of the cooling power. This is th...

We report on temperature-dependent photocurrent measurements of high-quality dual-gated monolayer graphene p-n junction devices. A photothermoelectric effect governs the photocurrent response in our devices, allowing us to track the hot-electron temperature and probe hot-electron cooling channels over a wide temperature range (4 to 300 K). At high temperatures (T > T(*)), we found that both the...
