An Image of the Experimental Valleytronics Device Developed by the Research Group

Caption

This is an Atomic Force Microscope image of the valleytronics device. The bright orange area is bilayer graphene. The light blue area shows the area of the top gate. Current is injected from the right side of the device, and converted to valley current. The valley current is converted back to charge current and detected as a voltage signal.
