Tunable Graphene System with Two Decoupled Monolayers — •Hennrik Schmidt, Thomas Lüdtke, Patrick Barthold, and Rolf J. Haug — Institut für Festkörperphysik, Leibniz Universität Hannover, D-30167 Hannover, Germany

Atomically thin sheets of carbon, graphene, can be used as current-carrying components in field-effect transistors. Using micromechanical cleavage of natural graphite, flakes of different thickness are deposited on top of a silicon wafer with a 330 nm thick silicon oxide, including also folded samples. This folding leads to a misorientation and thereby to decoupling of the two stacked layers.
We present measurements on such two layer systems consisting of decoupled monolayers [1]. To distinguish this sample from monolayer and single cystal bilayer graphene, magnetotransport measurements are carried out with temperatures down to 1.5 Kelvin. A backgate voltage between -70 V and 70 V is used to tune the carrier concentration and type. Applying magnetic fields up to 13 Tesla, the longitudinal resistance shows two sets of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations with a Berry’s phase of π for both oscillations, verifying a system of stacked monolayers. From the period of theses oscillations, the charge carrier densities are obtained, showing different values for each layer due to screening effects.
