1206.4797 (S. Moriyama et al.)

Field-induced Coulomb Blockade and Quantum Confinement in Graphene    [PDF]

S. Moriyama, Y. Morita, E. Watanabe, D. Tsuya
We report an approach to confine the carriers in single-layer graphene, which leads to quantum devices with field-induced quantum confinement. We demonstrated that the novel Coulomb-blockade effect evolves under a uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the graphene device. Our experimental results show that field-induced quantum dots are realized in graphene, and a quantum confinement-deconfinement transition is switched by the magnetic field.
