Multiple virtual tunneling of dirac fermions in granular graphene. Scientific Reports 3 : -. ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1038/srep03404 | Abstract: | Graphene charge carriers behave as massless Dirac fermions, opening the exciting possibility to observe long-range virtual tunneling of electrons in a solid. In granular metals, electron hops arising from series of virtual transitions are predicted to yield observable currents at low-enough temperatures, but to date experimental evidence is lacking. We report on electron transport in granular graphene films self-assembled by hydrogenation of suspended graphene. While the log-conductance shows a characteristic T -1/2 temperature dependence, cooling the samples below 10â€...K drives a triple crossover: a slope break in log-conductance, simultaneous to a substantial increase in magneto-conductance and onset of large mesoscopic conductance fluctuations. These phenomena are signatures of virtual transitions of electrons between distant localized states, and conductance statistics reveal that the high crossover-temperature is due to the Dirac nature of granular graphene charge carriers. | Source Title: | Scientific Reports | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/64265 | ISSN: | 20452322 | DOI: | 10.1038/srep03404 |
