Electronic transport properties of a tilted graphene p-n junction
Spatial manipulation of current flow in graphene could be achieved through the use of a tilted p-n junction. We show through numerical simulation that a pseudo-Hall effect i.e., nonequilibrium charge and current density accumulating along one of the sides of a graphene ribbon can be observed under these conditions. The tilt angle and the p-n transition length are two key parameters in tuning th...
متن کاملBallistic-Ohmic quantum Hall plateau transition in a graphene p-n junction
Recent quantum Hall experiments conducted on disordered graphene p-n junction provide evidence that the junction resistance could be described by a simple Ohmic sum of the n and p mediums’ resistances. However in the ballistic limit, theory predicts the existence of chirality-dependent quantum Hall plateaus in a p-n junction. We show that two distinctively separate processes are required for th...
متن کاملQuantum Hall effect in a gate-controlled p-n junction of graphene.
The unique band structure of graphene allows reconfigurable electric-field control of carrier type and density, making graphene an ideal candidate for bipolar nanoelectronics. We report the realization of a single-layer graphene p-n junction in which carrier type and density in two adjacent regions are locally controlled by electrostatic gating. Transport measurements in the quantum Hall regime...
متن کاملEffect Of Disorder On Graphene P -N Junction
We evaluate the resistance of a gate-tunable graphene p-n junction, in which the gradient of the carrier density is controlled by the gate voltage. Depending on this gradient and on the density of charged impurities, the junction resistance is dominated by either diffusive or ballistic contribution. We find the conditions for observing ballistic transport and show that in existing devices they ...
متن کاملVeselago lens and Klein collimator in disordered graphene.
We simulate electron transport through graphene nanoribbons of realistic size containing a p-n junction patterned by electrostatic gates. For a sharp p-n interface, Klein tunneling leads to refocusing of a divergent beam forming a Veselago lens. Wider transition regions allow only electrons with near-perpendicular incidence to pass the junction, forming a Klein collimator. Using a third nearest...
