As a high mobility two-dimensional semiconductor with strong structural and electronic anisotropy, atomically thin black phosphorus (BP) provides a new playground for investigating the quantum Hall (QH) effect, including outstanding questions such as the functional dependence of Landau level (LL) gaps on magnetic field B, and possible anisotropic fractional QH states. Using encapsulating few-layer BP transistors with mobility up to 55,000 cm2/Vs, we extract LL gaps over an exceptionally wide range of B for QH states at filling factors { u}=-1 to -4, which are determined to be linear in B, thus resolving a controversy raised by its anisotropy. Furthermore, a fractional QH state at { u}~ -4/3 and an additional feature at -0.56+/- 0.1 are observed, underscoring BP as a tunable 2D platform for exploring electron interactions.

Achieving good quality Ohmic contacts to van der Waals materials is a challenge, since at the interface between metal and van der Waals material, different conditions can occur, ranging from the presence of a large energy barrier between the two mate rials to the metallization of the layered material below the contacts. In black phosphorus (bP), a further challenge is its high reactivity to oxygen and moisture, since the presence of uncontrolled oxidation can substantially change the behavior of the contacts. In this study, we investigate the influence of the metal used for the contacts to bP against the variability between different flakes and different samples, using three of the most used metals as contacts: Chromium, Titanium, and Nickel. Using the transfer length method, from an analysis of ten devices, both at room temperature and at low temperature, Ni results to be the best metal for Ohmic contacts to bP, providing the lowest contact resistance and minimum scattering between different devices. Moreover, we investigate the gate dependence of the current-voltage characteristics of these devices. In the accumulation regime, we observe good linearity for all metals investigated.
The advent of black phosphorus field-effect transistors (FETs) has brought new possibilities in the study of two-dimensional (2D) electron systems. In a black phosphorus FET, the gate induces highly anisotropic 2D electron and hole gases. Although th e 2D hole gas in black phosphorus has reached high carrier mobilities that led to the observation of the integer quantum Hall effect, the improvement in the sample quality of the 2D electron gas (2DEG) has however been only moderate; quantum Hall effect remained elusive. Here, we obtain high quality black phosphorus 2DEG by defining the 2DEG region with a prepatterned graphite local gate. The graphite local gate screens the impurity potential in the 2DEG. More importantly, it electrostatically defines the edge of the 2DEG, which facilitates the formation of well-defined edge channels in the quantum Hall regime. The improvements enable us to observe precisely quantized Hall plateaus in electron-doped black phosphorus FET. Magneto-transport measurements under high magnetic fields further revealed a large effective mass and an enhanced Lande g-factor, which points to strong electron-electron interaction in black phosphorus 2DEG. Such strong interaction may lead to exotic many-body quantum states in the fractional quantum Hall regime.

We realize p-p-p junctions in few-layer black phosphorus (BP) devices, and use magneto-transport measurements to study the equilibration and transmission of edge states at the interfaces of regions with different charge densities. We observe both ful l equilibration, where all edge channels equilibrate and are equally partitioned at the interfaces, and partial equilibration, where only equilibration only takes place among modes of the same spin polarization. Furthermore, the inner p-region with low-doping level in the junction can function as a filter for highly doped p-regions which demonstrates gate-tunable transmission of edge channels.

The quantum Hall effect, with a Berrys phase of $pi$ is demonstrated here on a single graphene layer grown on the C-face of 4H silicon carbide. The mobility is $sim$ 20,000 cm$^2$/V$cdot$s at 4 K and ~15,000 cm$^2$/V$cdot$s at 300 K despite contamina tion and substrate steps. This is comparable to the best exfoliated graphene flakes on SiO$_2$ and an order of magnitude larger than Si-face epitaxial graphene monolayers. These and other properties indicate that C-face epitaxial graphene is a viable platform for graphene-based electronics.
Stanene was proposed to be a quantum spin hall insulator containing topological edges states and a time reversal invariant topological superconductor hosting helical Majorana edge mode. Recently, experimental evidences of existence of topological edg e states have been found in monolayer stanene films and superconductivity has been observed in few-layer stanene films excluding single layer. An integrated system with both topological edge states and superconductivity are higly pursued as a possible platform to realize topological superconductivity. Few-layer stanene show great potential to meet this requirement and is highly desired in experiment. Here we successfully grow few-layer stanene on bismuth (111) substrate. Both topological edge states and superconducting gaps are observed by in-situ scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS). Our results take a further step towards topological superconductivity by stanene films.
