Reconfigurable graphene-based 2D quantum materials

ORAL

Abstract

Reprogrammable LaAlO3/SrTiO3-based nanostructures offer new approaches to the development of quantum materials. With the recently founded ability of ultra-low-voltage electron beam lithography (ULV-EBL), sub-10 nm resolution nanostructures can be patterned through boron nitride encapsulated graphene at the LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface. This method enables the creation of doubly periodic electrostatic potentials to be applied to high-mobility graphene. Period structures like Kagome and Lieb lattice can be programmed without changing the underlying physical layers. This approach is part of a more general effort to create a solid state platform for quantum simulation in two dimensions.
