Quantum nanoconstrictions fabricated by cryo-etching in encapsulated graphene
More than a decade after the discovery of graphene, ballistic transport in
nanostructures based on this intriguing material still represents a challenging
field of research in two-dimensional electronics. The presence of rough edges
in nanostructures based on this material prevents the appearance of truly
ballistic electron transport as theo\-re\-tically predicted and, therefore, not
well-developed plateaus of conductance have been revealed to date. In this work
we report on a novel implementation of the cryo-etching method, which enabled
us to fabricate graphene nanoconstrictions encapsulated between hexagonal boron
nitride thin films with unprecedented control of the structure edges. High
quality smooth nanometer-rough edges are characterized by atomic force
microscopy and a clear correlation between low roughness and the existence of
well-developed quantized conductance steps with the concomitant occurrence of
ballistic transport is found at low temperature. In par\-ti\-cu\-lar, we come
upon exact 2 quantization steps of conductance at zero magnetic field
due to size quantization, as it has been theoretically predicted for truly
ballistic electron transport through graphene nanoconstrictions
