Scanning Tunneling Potentiometry: Magnetotransport on the Atomic Scale — Philip Willke, •Thomas Kotzott, Anna Sinterhauf, and Martin Wenderoth — IV. Physikalisches Institut, Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Friedrich-Hund-Platz 1, 37077 Göttingen

The method of scanning tunneling potentiometry (STP) has been introduced by Muralt and Pohl [1] as a technique for mapping the electrochemical potential locally and has been developed continuously [2]. Here we present a new STP setup with a home-built low-temperature STM operating at 6K and applicable magnetic field of up to 6T. We study high-resolution STP of scattering centers on a sub-nanometer scale, especially the spatial evolution of the electrochemical potential for the graphene monolayer/bilayer junction. We perform magnetotransport STP measurements mapping the local electrochemical potential as a function of the applied magnetic field. This allows us to identify localized and delocalized contributions to the magnetoresistance in epitaxial-grown graphene. This work was supported by DFG priority program 1459 "Graphene".
