説明:

Harnessing graphene devices for applications relies on a comprehensive understanding of how to interact with them. Specifically, scattering processes at the interface with metallic contacts can induce reproducible abnormalities in measurements. Here, we report on emergent trans- port signatures appearing when contacting sub- micrometer high-quality metallic top contacts to graphene. Using electrostatic simulations and first- principle calculations, we reveal their origin: the contact induces an n-doped radial cavity around it, which is cooperatively defined by the metal- induced electrostatic potential and Klein tunnel- ing. This intricate mechanism leads to secondary resistance peaks as a function of graphene doping that decreases with increasing contact size. Interestingly, in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field, the cavity spawns a distinct set of Landau levels that interferes with the Landau fan emanating from the graphene bulk. Essentially, an emergent ’second bulk’ forms around the contact, as a result of the interplay between the magnetic field and the contact-induced electrostatic potential. The interplay between the intrinsic and emergent bulks leads to direct observation of bulk-boundary correspondence in our experiments. Our work unveils the microscopic mechanisms manifesting at metal-graphene inter- faces, opening new avenues for understanding and devising graphene-based electronic devices.
