They are attributed to single quantum dots that form in the narrowest part of the ribbon, in the valleys and hills of a disorder potential. In a wide flake with two gates, a double-dot system's signature has been observed. Electrostatic confinement is enabled in single-layer graphene due to the gaps that form between Landau levels, suggesting a way to create gate-defined quantum dots that can be accessed with quantum Hall edge states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-07T18:15:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "single quantum dots", "quantum hall regime", "graphene nanoribbons", "quantum hall edge states", "quantum hall plateaus" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160101628T" } } }
