Helical edge resistance introduced by charge puddles.

چکیده
We study the influence of electron puddles created by doping of a 2D topological insulator on its helical edge conductance. A single puddle is modeled by a quantum dot tunnel coupled to the helical edge. It may lead to significant inelastic backscattering within the edge because of the long electron dwelling time in the dot. We find the resulting correction to the perfect edge conductance. Generalizing to multiple puddles, we assess the dependence of the helical edge resistance on the temperature and doping level and compare it with recent experimental data.

3 J ul 2 01 5 Two - dimensional topological insulator edge state backscattering by dephasing
To understand the seemingly absent temperature dependence in the conductance of twodimensional topological insulator edge states, we perform a numerical study which identifies the quantitative influence of the combined effect of dephasing and elastic scattering in charge puddles close to the edges. We show that this mechanism may be responsible for the experimental signatures in HgTe/CdTe quant...
متن کاملCharge Puddles in Graphene near the Dirac Point.
The charge carrier density in graphene on a dielectric substrate such as SiO_{2} displays inhomogeneities, the so-called charge puddles. Because of the linear dispersion relation in monolayer graphene, the puddles are predicted to grow near charge neutrality, a markedly distinct property from conventional two-dimensional electron gases. By performing scanning tunneling microscopy and spectrosco...

The Anderson insulating states in Au nanoparticle assembly are identified and studied under the application of magnetic fields and gate voltages. When the inter-nanoparticle tunneling resistance is smaller than the quantum resistance, the system showing zero Mott gap can be insulating at very low temperature. In contrast to Mott insulators, Anderson insulators exhibit great negative magnetoresi...
متن کاملThe Analytic Technique and Experimental Research Methods of Post-buckling about Slender Rod Strings in Wellbore
The buckling behavior of rod strings in wellbore is one of the key issues in petroleum engineering. The slender rod strings in vertical wellbore were selected as research objects. Based on the energy method, the critical load formulas of sinusoidal and helical buckling were derived for the string with the bottom of the wellbore pressure. According to the sinusoidal and helical buckling’s geomet...
متن کاملX-Rays Writing/Reading of Charge Density Waves in the CuO2 Plane of a Simple Cuprate Superconductor
It is now well established that superconductivity in cuprates competes with charge modulations giving an electronic phase separation at nanoscale. More specifically, superconducting electronic current takes root in the available free space left by electronic charge ordered domains, called charge density wave (CDW) puddles. This means that CDW domain arrangement plays a fundamental role in the m...
