Dirac fermion reflector by ballistic graphene sawtooth-shaped npn junctions
We have realized a Dirac fermion reflector in graphene by controlling the
ballistic carrier trajectory in a sawtooth-shaped npn junction. When the
carrier density in the inner p-region is much larger than that in the outer
n-regions, the first straight np interface works as a collimator and the
collimated ballistic carriers can be totally reflected at the second zigzag pn
interface. We observed clear resistance enhancement around the np+n regime,
which is in good agreement with the numerical simulation. The tunable
reflectance of ballistic carriers could be an elementary and important step for
realizing ultrahigh-mobility graphene field effect transistors utilizing Dirac
fermion optics in the near future
Clustering Properties of Low-Luminosity Star-Forming galaxies at z = 0.24 and 0.40 in the Subaru Deep Field
We present our analysis on the clustering properties of star-forming galaxies
selected by narrow-band excesses in the Subaru Deep Field. Specifically we
focus on Halpha emitting galaxies at z = 0.24 and z = 0.40 in the same field,
to investigate possible evolutionary signatures of clustering properties of
star-forming galaxies. Based on the analysis on 228 Halpha emitting galaxies
with 39.8 < log L(Halpha) < 40.8 at z = 0.40, we find that their two-point
correlation function is estimated as xi = (r/1.62^{+0.64}_{-0.50} Mpc)^{-1.84
+/- 0.08}. This is similar to that of Halpha emitting galaxies in the same
Halpha luminosity range at z = 0.24, xi = (r/1.88^{+0.60}_{-0.49} Mpc)^{-1.89
+/- 0.07}. These correlation lengths are smaller than those for the brighter
galaxy sample studied by Meneux et al. (2006) in the same redshift range. The
evolution of correlation length between z = 0.24 and z = 0.40 is interpreted by
the gravitational growth of the dark matter halos.Comment: 16 pages, 7 figures, PASJ, Vol.60, No.6, in pres
Boundary Scattering in Ballistic Graphene
We report magnetotransport measurements in ballistic graphene/hexagonal boron
nitride mesoscopic wires where the charge carrier mean free path is comparable
to wire width . Magnetoresistance curves show characteristic peak structures
where the peak field scales with the ratio of cyclotron radius
and wire width as , due to diffusive boundary
scattering. The obtained proportionality constant between and
differs from that of a classical semiconductor 2D electron system where
