Description:

(abstract)

We have fabricated a high mobility device composed of a monolayer graphene flake sandwiched between two sheets of boron nitride. Conductance oscillations as functions of a back gate voltage and magnetic field were obtained to check for ergodicity. Non-linear dynamics analysis were used to study the behavior of n-type and p-type carriers. We have found that the carrier motion is chaotic and dissipative at low temperatures, which might be the reason for the observed non-ergodicity. The distribution of eigenvalues was estimated from the conductance oscillations with Gaussian kernels that reveal a Gaussian Unitary Ensemble for p-type carriers, possibly indicating a violation in time-reversal symmetry.
