Electron Transport: Study of Electron Orbits in Multilayer Graphene Finds Unexpected Energy Gaps

By John Toon - researchers from the Georgia Institute of Technology and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) describe for the first time how the orbits of electrons are distributed spatially by magnetic fields applied to layers of epitaxial graphene.

The research team also found that these electron orbits can interact with the substrate on which the graphene is...
