Capacitance measurements provide a powerful means of probing the density of states. The technique has proved particularly successful in studying 2D electron systems, revealing a number of interesting many-body effects. Here, we use large-area high-quality graphene capacitors to study behavior of the density of states in this material in zero and high magnetic fields. Clear renormalization of the linear spectrum due to electron-electron interactions is observed in zero field. Quantizing fields lead to splitting of the spin- and valley-degenerate Landau levels into quartets separated by interaction-enhanced energy gaps. These many-body states exhibit negative compressibility but the compressibility returns to positive in ultrahigh B. The reentrant behavior is attributed to a competition between field-enhanced interactions and nascent fractional states.

We demonstrate experimentally that graphene quantum capacitance $C_{mathrm{q}}$ can have a strong impact on transport spectroscopy through the interplay with nearby charge reservoirs. The effect is elucidated in a field-effect-gated epitaxial graphen
e device, in which interface states serve as charge reservoirs. The Fermi-level dependence of $C_{mathrm{q}}$ is manifested as an unusual parabolic gate voltage ($V_{mathrm{g}}$) dependence of the carrier density, centered on the Dirac point. Consequently, in high magnetic fields $B$, the spectroscopy of longitudinal resistance ($R_{xx}$) vs. $V_{mathrm{g}}$ represents the structure of the unequally spaced relativistic graphene Landau levels (LLs). $R_{xx}$ mapping vs. $V_{mathrm{g}}$ and $B$ thus reveals the vital role of the zero-energy LL on the development of the anomalously wide $ u=2$ quantum Hall state.
Electrostatic gating lies in the heart of modern FET-based integrated circuits. Usually, the gate electrode has to be placed very close to the conduction channel, typically a few nanometers, in order to achieve efficient tunability. However, remote c
ontrol of a FET device through a gate electrode placed far away is always highly desired, because it not only reduces the complexity of device fabrication, but also enables designing novel devices with new functionalities. Here, a non-local gating effect in graphene using both near-field optical nano-imaging and electrical transport measurement is reported. With assistance of absorbed water molecules, the charge density of graphene can be efficiently tuned by a local-gate placed over 30 {mu}m away. The observed non-local gating effect is initially driven by an in-plane electric field established between graphene regions with different charge densities due to the quantum capacitance near the Dirac point in graphene. The nonlocality is further amplified and largely enhanced by absorbed water molecules through screening the in-plane electric field and expending the transition length. This research reveals novel non-local phenomenon of Dirac electrons, and paves the way for designing electronic devices with remote-control using 2D materials with small density of states.
We discuss valley current, which is carried by quasiparticles in graphene. We show that the valley current arises owing to a peculiar term in the electron-phonon collision integral that mixes the scalar and vector gauge-field-like vertices in the ele
ctron-phonon interaction. This mixing makes collisions of phonons with electrons sensitive to their chirality, which is opposite in two valleys. As a result of collisions with phonons, electrons of the different valleys deviate in opposite directions. Breaking the spatial inversion symmetry is not needed for a valley-dependent deviation of the quasiparticle current. The effect exists both in pristine graphene or bilayer graphene samples, and it increases with temperature owing to a higher rate of collisions with phonons at higher temperatures. The valley current carried by quasiparticles could be detected by measuring the electric current using a nonlocal transformer of a suitable design.
The quantum Hall effect is a remarkable manifestation of quantized transport in a two-dimensional electron gas. Given its technological relevance, it is important to understand its development in realistic nanoscale devices. In this work we present h
ow the appearance of different edge channels in a field-effect device is influenced by the inhomogeneous capacitance profile existing near the sample edges, a condition of particular relevance for graphene. We apply this practical idea to experiments on high quality graphene, demonstrating the potential of quantum Hall transport as a spatially resolved probe of density profiles near the edge of this two-dimensional electron gas.
The field-effect mobility of graphene devices is discussed. We argue that the graphene ballistic mean free path can only be extracted by taking into account both, the electrical characteristics and the channel length dependent mobility. In doing so w
e find a ballistic mean free path of 300nm at room-temperature for a carrier concentration of ~1e12/cm2 and that a substantial series resistance of around 300ohmum has to be taken into account. Furthermore, we demonstrate first quantum capacitance measurements on single-layer graphene devices.
