Effect of Potential Fluctuation on Ferroelectric-Gated Bilayer Graphene

ORAL

Abstract

We investigated the effect of a ferroelectric gate on the transport properties of bilayer graphene (BLG). BLG flakes were mechanically exfoliated on epitaxial 300 nm Ba0.6Sr0.4TiO3 (BSTO) thin films grown on Nb-doped SrTiO3 substrates. Selected flakes were fabricated into field-effect transistor devices. At 2 K, the BLG devices exhibit field-effect mobility up to µFE ~ 3,000 cm2/Vs and quantum Hall effect, from which we deduced a dielectric constant of 113 for BSTO. The devices exhibit resistance hysteresis induced by nonvolatile polarization switching at high gate voltage. The temperature dependence of BLG at the charge-neutral point can be well described by thermally activated behavior at high temperature, which evolves to nearest-neighbor hopping below 80 K. We extracted activation energy of ~20 meV and hopping energy of ~0.3 meV. The result indicates that the epitaxial BSTO films yield less potential fluctuation compared with conventional SiO2 substrate. We will also discuss the effects of remote interfacial optical phonon scattering and capping with a top h-BN layer on these ferroelectric-gated BLG devices.
