Thermally non-equilibrated to topologically equilibrated thermal conductance for hole-conjugate fractional quantum Hall state in graphene
ORAL
Abstract
Transport in integer and particle-like fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state, occurs via downstream edge modes (Nd). On the contrary, for hole-conjugate FQH states, the presence of upstream modes (Nu) leads to complex transport behavior. Here, we report the thermal conductance (GQ) measurement of integer and FQH states in graphene. We found the measured values of GQ for integer and particle-like states (1/3 and 2/5) are consistent with theoretical predictions of Nd κ0T, where κ0T is the quanta of GQ. Surprisingly, for the hole-conjugate states (2/3 and 3/5), the measured GQ shows (Nd + Nu) κ0T below 35 mK, consistent with vanishing thermal equilibration. However, with increasing temperature GQ decreases and eventually saturate to theoretically predicted topological value of (Nd - Nu) κ0T for 3/5 above 50mK and for 2/3, GQ remains finite (~0.4 κ0T) at 60mK. Our results for the first time benchmark the temperature induced transition of thermal conductance from no-equilibration to full-equilibration for FQH states in graphene.
