1 Electronic properties of graphene Jean-Noël Fuchs Laboratoire de Physique des Solides Université Paris-Sud (Orsay) Cargèse, September 2012
2 3 one-hour lectures in 2 x 1,5h on electronic properties of graphene 1. Band structure & massless Dirac electrons 2. Graphene's quantum Hall effect 3. Topological stability and merging of Dirac points
3 Graphene: a new 2D electron gas Discovered in 2004 by Novoselov and Geim: scotch tape trick A truly 2D crystal Honeycomb lattice of carbon Conducting Carrier density electrically tunable Carriers are unusual: massless Dirac electrons Therefore a new 2DEG as shown by its peculiar QHE Nobel prize in physics 2010
4 Band structure & massless Dirac electrons Outline 1. Crystal structure 2. Band structure: tight-binding model 3. Massless Dirac equation 4. Berry phase 5. Relativistic quantum mechanics 6. Interactions and screening 7. Transport
5 1. Crystal structure
6 Crystal structure Graphene = 2D honeycomb crystal of carbon Carbon atom: 6 electrons 1s2 (core) 2s2 2p2 (valence) hybridization: 1 2s orbital and 2 2p orbitals 3 sp2 orbitals 1 2pz orbital left - 3 coplanar σ bonds, with 120 angle: honeycomb structure - 1 conduction electron per C atom, 2pz orbital, perpendicular to the plane, giving π bands: electronic properties
7 Crystal structure Honeycomb crystal = triangular (2D) Bravais lattice + 2 atoms basis (important for Bloch s theorem) Direct space: y B A A A B B B B B A x O A B B A A A B
8 Crystal structure Reciprocal space: Reciprocal lattice of the triangular lattice = triangular lattice (whatever the atomic basis) ky g1 g2 K K' K' Γ K K g1 K' 1st Brillouin zone (1Bz) kx
9 Crystal structure Hexagonal Brilloun zone is a torus
10 Summary Graphene is a truly 2D crystal: thickness of a single carbon atom. It can be seen as a 2D membrane in a 3D world. Carbon atoms have a sp2 character as in graphite, carbon nanotubes, fullerenes, etc. But unlike diamond Honeycomb lattice is not a Bravais lattice. It is a triangular Bravais lattice with a two atom basis: two atoms per unit cell Two inequivalent corners of the hexagonal Brillouin zone: two valleys
11 2. Band structure: tight-binding model
12 Goal To understand the motion of conduction electrons in graphene (band structure of the so-called π bands coming from the 2pz carbon orbitals).
13 Band structure Nearest neighbor tight-binding model built on the 2pz orbitals Wallace 1947 Following the notations/conventions of Bena and Montambaux, New J. Phys. 11, (2009). Lattice spacing = a 3=2.46 Å and C-C distance = a = 1.42 Å. Real space Reciprocal space Atomic basis Hexagonal (first) Brillouin zone

31 4. Berry phase
32 Geometric phase & Berry phase Parallel transport of a vector along a closed path in a curved space gives rise to a geometrical phase. Solid state context: Vector = bispinor (Bloch's u(k)>) Parameter space = reciprocal space (Brillouin zone is a torus) Closed path = isoenergy trajectory (cyclotron orbit) e.g. In quantum mechanics, geometrical phase is called Berry phase (M. Berry 1984): For review see e.g. Resta, EPJB 2011 or Q. Niu et al., RMP 2010
33 Berry phase See for example Fuchs, Piechon, Goerbig and Montambaux, EPJB 2010.
34 Dirac point seen as a vortex in reciprocal space carrying a topological charge ±1 (Berry phase ±π) They appear in vortex-antivortex pairs (fermion doubling) There is more to the Hamiltonian than its spectrum: eigenenergies & eigenvectors. Graphene is a coupled band system.
35 5. Relativistic quantum mechanics
36 Velocity operator, current & Zitterbewegung Schrödinger 1930 Zitterbewegung is an inter-band effect. It disappears for a wavepacket with all its weight on a single band
37 Chiralities Several (different) meanings: 1) chirality in the sense of helicity: projection of the (sublattice) pseudo-spin on the direction of motion σ p/ p 2) chirality in the sense of sublattice symmetry S: A A and B-> -B. In the context of graphene: S = σz anticommutes with the Hamiltonian. Consequence: E->-E symmetry of the spectrum. Remark: bipartite lattices, γ5 Dirac matrix. 3) chirality in the sense of direction of rotation, such has The chirality of quantum Hall edge states.

41 Summary Graphene is a 2D gapless semiconductor (or 2D semimetal with zero band overlap) Its low energy carriers are massless Dirac fermions, which exist in 4 flavors (2 for the valley K/K' degeneracy and 2 for the spin ½ degeneracy) These carriers are chiral (helicity) Dirac points in the Brillouin zone can be seen as vortices carrying a topological charge +/-1 which is related to a quantized Berry phase +/- π. They come in pairs (K/K', fermion doubling) Graphene is a coupled bands system
42 6. Interactions and screening
43 Electron-electron interactions
44 Screening
45 7. Electronic transport
46 Understanding the electronic transport properties of standard graphene Three experimental facts (the V-shaped curve): - σ(t)= almost constant - σ(nc) linear or slightly sublinear - σmin ~ 4 e2/h>0 at the neutrality point Novoselov et al., Nature 2005 Diffusive and incoherent transport ( classical transport ) in a degenerate (semi-)metal of non-interacting electrons.

50 Drude conductivity
51 Carrier mobility
52 Disorder strength 1/kFl Disorder strength grows towards the neutrality point. System becomes more and more diffusive (less ballistic). Geim and Novoselov, Nature Mat. 2007
53 What are the most relevant impurities?
54 Minimal conductivity: puddles?
55 Minimal conductivity: disorder broadening? Self-consistent Born approximation (SCBA: Ando and Shon 1998): DoS is never really vanishing as planewaves now have a finite energy width ~ ћ/τ
56 Minimal conductivity: ballistic graphene Evanescent modes transport? Tworzydlo et al.; Katsnelson 2006
57 Summary on transport - σ(t)=constant: because TFmin > T (graphene's phase diagram) - σ(nc) linear or slightly sublinear: probably resonant (ln2, not unitary) scatterers (for doped graphene) AND/OR charged impurities (depends on sample quality) - σmin ~ e2/h>0 at the neutrality point: classical transport can give a rough explanation (puddles due to charged impurities induce a non-zero local carrier density) but out of its validity domain. Otherwise SCBA or evanescent wave transport in ballistic regime.
