Magneto-Thermoelectric Transport in Graphene Quantum Dot with Strong Correlations

Phys Rev Lett. 2024 Jun 14;132(24):246502. doi: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.132.246502.

Abstract

Disorder at etched edges of graphene quantum dots (GQD) enables random all-to-all interactions between localized charges in partially filled Landau levels, providing a potential platform to realize the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We use quantum Hall edge states in the graphene electrodes to measure electrical conductance and thermoelectric power across the GQD. In specific temperature ranges, we observe a suppression of electric conductance fluctuations and slowly decreasing thermoelectric power across the GQD with increasing temperature, consistent with recent theory for the SYK regime.
