Carbon nanotube-graphene Coulomb drag in the linear and nonlinear transport regimes

ORAL

Abstract

Double-layer drag experiments are an exceptionally sensitive tool for studying interactions in low-dimensional systems, since the drag response depends on long-range Coulomb interactions rather than particle exchange. We have measured 1D-2D drag resistance between a single carbon nanotube (CNT) and monolayer graphene separated by a few-layer boron nitride flake. At high temperatures, the drag response is symmetric under interchange of the drive and drag layers and resembles momentum transfer from drive to drag layer. This layer reciprocity is broken near the charge neutrality point of graphene at lower temperatures, which can be attributed to thermoelectric effects. The relations between the drag resistance and charge carrier density and temperature are not straightforwardly explained by existing theory. Intriguingly, the high-temperature drag response decays with distance from the CNT slower than expected for a diffusive current distribution, hinting at additional electron interactions coming into play in the graphene.
