The scattering rate is strongly suppressed when defects are charged. This finding highlights \"screening\" of the short-range part of a potential by the long-range part. Experiments on calcium-adsorbed graphene confirm the role of a long-range Coulomb potential. This effect is applicable to other multivalley systems, provided that the charge state of a defect can be electrically tuned. Our result provides a means to electrically control valley relaxation and has important implications in valley dynamics in valleytronic materials.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-02-21T11:30:57.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "charge state", "intervalley scattering", "electrical control", "electrically control valley relaxation", "long-range coulomb potential" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
