Magneto-Thermoelectric Transport in Graphene Quantum Dot with Strong Correlations

Abstract

Disorder at the etched edges of graphene quantum dots (GQD) enables random all-to-all interactions between localized charges in partially-filled Landau levels, providing a potential platform to realize the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We use quantum Hall edge states in the graphene electrodes to measure electrical conductance and thermoelectric power across the GQD. We observe a rapid diminishing of electric conductance fluctuations and slowly decreasing thermoelectric power across the GQD with increasing temperature, consistent with recent theoretical predictions for the SYK regime.
