Quantitative transport measurements of fractional quantum Hall energy gaps in edgeless graphene devices

Abstract

Owing to their wide tunability, spin- and valley internal degrees of freedom, and low disorder, graphene heterostructures are emerging as a promising experimental platform for fractional quantum Hall (FQH) studies. Surprisingly, however, transport measurements reveal many fewer FQH states than bulk capacitive probes. Here, we report the fabrication of dual graphite-gated monolayer graphene devices in an edgeless Corbino-type geometry that showing deep FQH sequences. Thermal activation gaps reveal a tunable crossover between single- and multi-component FQH states in the zero energy Landau level, while the first Landau level is found to host an unexpected valley-ordered state at $\nu=-4$.
