Electron vortices in graphene detected - EurekAlert


<p>In graphene, electrons behave like a liquid. This can lead to the formation of vortices. Such electron vortices have now been made visible using a quantum magnetic field sensor with a high spatial resolution. Typically, transport phenomena are more easily detected at low temperatures. Thanks to their highly sensitive sensor, the ETH researchers were able to observe vortices even at room temperature.</p>
