Tilted potential induced coupling of localized states in a graphene nanoconstriction
We use the charged tip of a low temperature scanning probe microscope to perturb the transport through a graphene nanoconstriction. Maps of the conductance as a function of tip position display concentric halos, and by following the expansion of the halos with back-gate voltage we are able to identi...

Summary: | We use the charged tip of a low temperature scanning probe microscope to perturb the transport through a graphene nanoconstriction. Maps of the conductance as a function of tip position display concentric halos, and by following the expansion of the halos with back-gate voltage we are able to identify an elongated domain over the nanoconstriction where they originate. Amplitude modulations of the transmission resonances are correlated with the gradient of the tip-induced potential and we analyze this in terms of modified coupling between localized states. |
