Abstract:
We report on the observation of quantum transport and interference in a graphene device that is attached with a pair of split gates to form an electrostatically-defined quantum point contact (QPC). In the low magnetic field regime, the resistance exhibited Fabry-Pérot (FP) resonances due to np'n(pn'p) cavities formed by the top gate. In the quantum Hall (QH) regime with a high magnetic field, the edge states governed the phenomena, presenting a unique condition where the edge channels of electrons and holes along a p-n junction acted as a solid-state analogue of a monochromatic light beam. We observed a crossover from the FP to QH regimes in ballistic graphene QPC under a magnetic field with varying temperatures. In particular, the collapse of the QH effect was elucidated as the magnetic field was decreased. Our high-mobility graphene device enabled observation of such quantum coherence effects up to several tens of kelvins. The presented device could serve as one of the key elements in future electronic quantum optic devices.

Crossover Experiments
Crossover designs are performed even with smaller sample sizes since the samples can act as their controls. These are better than simple randomized trials since patients are exposed to all the treatments.
