We report the observation of a giant positive magnetoresistance in millimetre scale hydrogenated graphene with magnetic field oriented in the plane of the graphene sheet. A positive magnetoresistance in excess of 200% at a temperature of 300 mK was observed in this configuration, reverting to negative magnetoresistance with the magnetic field oriented normal to the graphene plane. We attribute the observed positive, in-plane, magnetoresistance to Pauli-blockade of hopping conduction induced by spin polarization. Our work shows that spin polarization in concert with electron-electron interaction can play a dominant role in magnetotransport within an atomic monolayer.

Pauli blockade mechanisms -- whereby carrier transport through quantum dots (QDs) is blocked due to selection rules even when energetically allowed -- are of both fundamental and technological interest, as a direct manifestation of the Pauli exclusio n principle and as a key mechanism for manipulating and reading out spin qubits. Pauli spin blockade is well established for systems such as GaAs QDs, where the two-electron spin-singlet ground state is separated from the three triplet states higher in energy. However, Pauli blockade physics remains largely unexplored for systems in which the Hilbert space is expanded due to additional degrees of freedom, such as the valley quantum numbers in carbon-based materials or silicon. Here we report experiments on coupled graphene double QDs in which the spin and valley states can be precisely controlled. We demonstrate that gate and magnetic-field tuning allows switching between a spin-triplet--valley-singlet ground state with charge occupancy (2,0), where valley-blockade is observed, and a spin-singlet--valley-triplet ground state, where spin blockade is shown. These results demonstrate how the complex two-particle Hilbert space of graphene quantum dots can be unravelled experimentally, with implications for future spin and valley qubits.
We present measurements on gate-defined double quantum dots in Ge-Si core-shell nanowires, which we tune to a regime with visible shell filling in both dots. We observe a Pauli spin blockade and can assign the measured leakage current at low magnetic fields to spin-flip cotunneling, for which we measure a strong anisotropy related to an anisotropic g-factor. At higher magnetic fields we see signatures for leakage current caused by spin-orbit coupling between (1,1)-singlet and (2,0)-triplet states. Taking into account these anisotropic spin-flip mechanisms, we can choose the magnetic field direction with the longest spin lifetime for improved spin-orbit qubits.
Pauli spin blockade (PSB) is a significant physical effect in double quantum dot (DQD) systems. In this paper, we start from the fundamental quantum model of the DQD with the electron-electron interaction being considered, and then systematically stu dy the PSB effect in DQD by using a recently developed non-perturbative method, the hierarchical equations of motion (HEOM) approach. The physical picture of the PSB is elucidated explicitly and the gate voltage manipulation is described minutely, which are both qualitatively consistent with the experimental measurements. When dotdot exchange interaction is involved, the PSB effect may be lifted by the strong antiferromagnetic exchange coupling.
We report Pauli spin blockade in an impurity defined carbon nanotube double quantum dot. We observe a pronounced current suppression for negative source-drain bias voltages which is investigated for both symmetric and asymmetric coupling of the quant um dots to the leads. The measured differential conductance agrees well with a theoretical model of a double quantum dot system in the spin-blockade regime which allows us to estimate the occupation probabilities of the relevant singlet and triplet states. This work shows that effective spin-to-charge conversion in nanotube quantum dots is feasible and opens the possibility of single-spin readout in a material that is not limited by hyperfine interaction with nuclear spins.
Silicon quantum dots are attractive candidates for the development of scalable, spin-based qubits. Pauli spin blockade in double quantum dots provides an efficient, temperature independent mechanism for qubit readout. Here we report on transport expe riments in double gate nanowire transistors issued from a CMOS process on 300 mm silicon-on-insulator wafers. At low temperature the devices behave as two few-electron quantum dots in series. We observe signatures of Pauli spin blockade with a singlet-triplet splitting ranging from 0.3 to 1.3 meV. Magneto-transport measurements show that transitions which conserve spin are shown to be magnetic-field independent up to B = 6 T.
