Robustness of the Edge States in Graphene Quantum Hall System: Does the Chiral Symmetry Degraded by t' Matter?

Journal Article Arikawa, Mitsuhiro ; CREST, Japan Science and Technology Agency, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, 102-0075 ; Aoki, Hideo ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

While usual edge states in the quantum Hall effect reside between adjacent Landau levels, QHE in graphene has a peculiar edge mode at E = 0 that resides right within the n = 0 Landau level as protected by the chiral symmetry. In real graphene, small but finite second-neighbor hopping exists, which degrades the chiral symmetry in the bipartite lattice. Here we have found that the edge mode is again embedded in the n = 0 bulk Landau level despite the broken chiral symmetry due to the second-neighbor hopping, where the charge is accumulated along the zigzag edge.

Quantum spin Hall states in graphene interacting with WS{sub 2} or WSe{sub 2}

Journal Article Kaloni, T. P. ; Schwingenschlögl, U., E-mail: udo.schwingenschlogl@kaust.edu.sa ; Kou, L. ; ... - Applied Physics Letters

In the framework of first-principles calculations, we investigate the structural and electronic properties of graphene in contact with as well as sandwiched between WS{sub 2} and WSe{sub 2} monolayers. We report the modification of the band characteristics due to the interaction at the interface and demonstrate that the presence of the dichalcogenide results in quantum spin Hall states in the absence of a magnetic field.

Mach-Zehnder interferometry using spin- and valley-polarized quantum Hall edge states in graphene

Journal Article Wei, Di S. ; van der Sar, Toeno ; Sanchez-Yamagishi, Javier D. ; ... - Science Advances

Confined to a two-dimensional plane, electrons in a strong magnetic field travel along the edge in one-dimensional quantum Hall channels that are protected against backscattering. These channels can be used as solid-state analogs of monochromatic beams of light, providing a unique platform for studying electron interference. Electron interferometry is regarded as one of the most promising routes for studying fractional and non-Abelian statistics and quantum entanglement via two-particle interference. However, creating an edge-channel interferometer in which electron-electron interactions play an important role requires a clean system and long phase coherence lengths. We realize electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometers with record visibilities ofmore »« less

Proximity enhanced quantum spin Hall state in graphene

Journal Article Kou, Liangzhi ; Hu, Feiming ; Yan, Binghai ; ... - Carbon

Graphene is the first model system of two-dimensional topological insulator (TI), also known as quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator. The QSH effect in graphene, however, has eluded direct experimental detection because of its extremely small energy gap due to the weak spin–orbit coupling. Here we predict by ab initio calculations a giant (three orders of magnitude) proximity induced enhancement of the TI energy gap in the graphene layer that is sandwiched between thin slabs of Sb₂Te₃ (or MoTe₂). This gap (1.5 meV) is accessible by existing experimental techniques, and it can be further enhanced by tuning the interlayer distance viamore »« less
