Ballistic Transport in Mesoscopic Graphene Devices — •Christoph Stampfer — JARA-FIT and 2nd Institute of Physics, RWTH Aachen University, 52074 Aachen, Germany — Peter Grünberg Institute (PGI-9), Forschungszentrum Jülich, 52425 Jülich, Germany

The recent technological advances in encapsulating graphene by hexagonal boron nitride forming artificial van-der-Waals heterostructures allows the fabrication of graphene devices with high electronic quality. Outstanding charge carrier mobilities and mean free paths with more than 10 micrometer are now accessible making this material stack interesting for studying ballistic transport. By further structuring the graphene-hBN based heterostructures mesoscopic devices can be fabricated on which phase coherent ballistic quantum transport can be studied.

Here, I will present low-temperature magneto-transport measurements on both (i) graphene quantum point contacts and (ii) high mobility graphene rings encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride. Our experiments allow to extract information on quantized conductance, renormalized Fermi velocities close to the charge neutrality point as well as the co-existence of weak localization, Aharonov-Bohm oscillations and universal conductance fluctuations in graphene rings.
