The interference system exploits a closed n-p junction that can be induced by a floating gate within the sample and coupling of the junction currents with the edge currents in the quantum Hall regime. Operation of the device requires current splitting at the edge -- n-p junction contacts whichis found for armchair ribbons at low Fermi energy.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-10-15T15:44:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "aharonov-bohm interferometer", "graphene nanoribbons", "n-p junction contacts whichis", "low fermi energy", "graphene n-p junctions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 11, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
