Competition between liquid and solid states in two-dimensional electron systems is an intriguing problem in condensed matter physics. We have investigated competing Wigner …
Carbon based nanostructures play an important role in the development of new devices in order to sustain Moore's law. In this work, taper, fusiform and hourglass shaped structures …
Breakdown of the quantum Hall effect (QHE) is commonly associated with an electric field approaching the inter-Landau-level (LL) Zener field, the ratio of the Landau gap and the …
The temperature properties of the first excited state (FES) splitting energy (FESSE) of a strongly-coupled impurity magneto acoustic polaron (IMAP) in monolayer graphene is …
First, I wish to express my deepest gratitude to Professor Kensuke Kobayashi for his unending guidance and scientific discussions since I belong to his group. I also want to …
This thesis addresses three different phenomena in the DC and GHz electronic transport properties of ballistic, hBN-encapsulated graphene: Firstly, the total internal reflection of …
In this thesis, sophisticated conductance and noise measurements were employed for studying electron transport through suspended graphene devices in order to understand the …
