Electrical Properties Electrical Properties
• Hall Effect – Electric field developed across two faces of conductor in the direction j × H
when a current j flows across a magnetic field H
• Quantum Hall Effect– Discovered in 1980– σxy =νˑe2/h (ν is an integer)
– At low temperature and strong magnetic field
• Half-integer quantum Hall effect– σxy =4ˑ(N+ ½)e2/h (N is an integer)
– At room temperature (300K)
Novoselov et al, 2005
Electrical Properties Electrical Properties
• Klein tunneling– In 1929, Oscar Klein– A tunnel barrier can become fully transparent for normal incidence of
massless particles– Test in graphene was suggested by Katsnelson, Geim and Noveselov in
2006 and verified by Young and Kim in 2009
