Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of temperature measurement, and in particular to a quantum voltage noise thermometer of a graphene chlorine oxychromium heterojunction quantum Hall resistor. Background Art

[0002] Temperature is one of the seven basic physical quantities in the International System of Units. Accurate temperature measurement has wide applications in energy, metallurgy, manufacturing, electronic technology, medical care, national defense, aerospace, and scientific research.

[0003] Thermodynamic temperature Kelvin has been defined by the Boltzmann constant, and the primary thermometer must be able to directly trace the temperature to the Boltzmann constant. At present, in the field of temperature measurement, there is still a lack of high-accuracy primary temperature measurement methods that can work in low temperature and strong magnetic field environments. The traditional low-temperature temperature scale based on the International System of Units, the latest is ITS-90 and PLTS-2000. At low temperatures, its main temperature sensors include rhodium iron resistors, silicon diodes, platinum resistors, thin film resistors, noise thermometers, etc. The readings of these low-temperature temperature sensors will have large deviations due to the influence of strong magnetic fields, and high-accuracy primary temperature measurements cannot be achieved. The quantum voltage noise thermometer uses a pulse-driven quantum voltage system to synthesize quantum pseudonoise, and uses this quantum pseudonoise to calibrate the thermal noise generated by the temperature measuring resistor at different temperatures, which can achieve high-accuracy primary temperature measurement. However, the resistance of the temperature measuring resistor used in the quantum voltage noise thermometer will change under low temperature and strong magnetic field. At the same time, in order to measure the resistance value, it is generally necessary to pass current through the resistor. The heating of the resistor will produce a temperature gradient, which affects its temperature measurement accuracy and cannot achieve accurate primary temperature measurement under low temperature and strong magnetic field. For many important application scenarios, such as particle accelerators, aerospace satellites, magnetic resonance imaging systems, cryogenic systems and scientific research, it is particularly important to achieve high-accuracy primary temperature measurement under low temperature and strong magnetic field environment.

[0004] Graphene-boron nitride heterojunction can achieve ultra-high mobility through Coulomb screening, thus becoming a new material system that can experimentally observe quantum Hall after GaAs semiconductor interface electron gas.

[0005] The inventors have found that a quasi-two-dimensional interface localized electronic state regulated by a vertical electric field is realized in a heterojunction of single-layer graphene and few-layer chromium-monooxygen-monochloride, which effectively regulates the energy band of graphene itself through Coulomb interaction and presents a novel quantum Hall state under a magnetic field. In this interface-coupled QHE phase, transverse conductance quantization can occur under a very small magnetic field, and this behavior can be maintained above liquid nitrogen temperature, with extremely strong robustness. For example, at a temperature of 77K, the magnetic field required for this system to achieve a transverse conductance quantization platform with a filling factor of ±2 can be as low as 350mT. The quantized conductance of traditional graphene requires a magnetic field of more than 10T to be obtained at 77K, which makes the quantized conductance boundary state take a key step from the liquid helium temperature zone to the liquid nitrogen temperature zone in future electronic applications such as topological superconductivity and quantum Hall-Fabry-Perot interference.

[0006] Based on this technical background, the present invention studies the quantum voltage noise thermometer of graphene chromium oxychloride heterojunction quantum Hall resistor. Summary of the invention
