Electrical control of intervalley scattering in graphene via the charge state of defects
2016
We study the intervalley scattering in defected graphene by low-temperature transport measurements. The scattering rate is strongly suppressed when defects are charged. This finding highlights "screening" of the short-range part of a potential by the long-range part. Experiments on calcium-adsorbed graphene confirm the role of a long-range Coulomb potential. This effect is applicable to other multivalley systems, provided that the charge state of a defect can be electrically tuned. Our result provides a means to electrically control valley relaxation and has important implications in valley dynamics in valleytronic materials.
