Fabry–Pérot Quantum Hall Interferometry in Graphene

ORAL

Abstract

The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) manifests when a large magnetic field is applied to a 2-dimensional electron gas with strong electron-electron interactions. The excitations of this highly correlated phase are expected to possess anyonic exchange statistics. Inspired by experiments in GaAs heterostructures that have attempted to demonstrate anyonic exchange statistics via quantum Hall interferometry, we explore the possibility of determining quasiparticle charge and statistics by measuring quantum Hall interferometers in graphene heterostructures. We utilize hBN-encapsulated monolayer graphene with top and bottom graphite gates to electrostatically define interferometers in the FQHE regime. We demonstrate that two quantum point contacts (QPC), which individually act as beam splitters for quantum Hall edge states, cascaded in series forms a Fabry–Pérot interferometer. We will discuss development toward realizing Aharanov-Bohm dominated interference.
