Anyons in graphene fractional quantum Hall phases in the bulk and on the edge

ORAL  · Invited

Abstract

Graphene hosts robust fractional quantum Hall phases at both even and odd denominator which provide new opportunities to probe the the properties of abelian and nonabelian anyons. In this talk, I will review some or our efforts in this direction leveraging both bulk thermodynamic and edge-based transport experiments. In the first part of the talk, I will describe measurements of the electronic entropy in a partially filled Landau level from millikelvin to room temperature.  The data allow us to document the freezing out of isospin and motional degrees of freedom as the electronic system forms Wigner crystal and incompressible liquid phases, and reach the limit required to resolve the topological entropy thought to exist near even denominator filling. In the second part of the talk, I will describe experiments to probe the structure of the fractional edge and control tunnel processes in a quantum point contact, culminating in successful realization of single integer- and fractionally charged quasiparticles in a Coulomb-blockaded quantum dot.
