Název v původním jazyce

Carrier dynamics in Landau-quantized graphene featuring strong Auger scattering

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

The energy spectrum of common two-dimensional electron gases consists of a harmonic (that is, equidistant) ladder of Landau levels, thus preventing the possibility of optically addressing individual transitions. In graphene, however, owing to its non-harmonic spectrum, individual levels can be addressed selectively. Here, we report a time-resolved experiment directly pumping discrete Landau levels in graphene. Energetically degenerate Landau-level transitions from n = -1 to n = 0 and from n = 0 to n = 1are distinguished by applying circularly polarized THz light. An analysis based on a microscopic theory shows that the zeroth Landau level is actually depleted by strong Auger scattering, even though it is optically pumped at the same time. The surprisingly strong electron-electron interaction responsible for this effect is directly evidenced through a sign reversal of the pump-probe signal.
