Interlayer tunneling spectroscopy of graphite at high magnetic field oriented parallel to the layers
Interlayer tunneling in graphite mesa-type structures is studied at a strong in-plane magnetic field H up to 55 T and low temperature T = 1.4 K. The tunneling spectrum dI / dV vs. V has a pronounced peak at a finite voltage V 0 . The peak position V 0 increases linearly with H . To explain the exper...

Zusammenfassung: | Interlayer tunneling in graphite mesa-type structures is studied at a strong in-plane magnetic field
H
up to 55 T and low temperature
T
= 1.4 K. The tunneling spectrum
dI
/
dV
vs.
V
has a pronounced peak at a finite voltage
V
0
. The peak position
V
0
increases linearly with
H
. To explain the experiment, we develop a theoretical model of graphite in the crossed electric
E
and magnetic
H
fields. When the fields satisfy the resonant condition
E
=
vH
, where
V
is the velocity of the two-dimensional Dirac electrons in graphene, the wave functions delocalize and give rise to the peak in the tunneling spectrum observed in the experiment. |
