Anomalous conductance quantization of a one-dimensional channel in monolayer WSe2
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract Among quantum devices based on 2D materials, gate-defined quantum confined 1D channels are much less explored, especially in the high mobility regime where many body interactions play an important role. We present results of measurements and theory of conductance quantization in a gate-defined one dimensional channel in a single layer of transition metal dichalcogenide material WSe2. In the quasi-ballistic regime of our high mobility sample, we report conductance quantization steps in units of e 2 /h for a wide range of carrier concentrations. Magnetic field measurements show that as the field is raised higher conductance plateaus move to accurate quantized values and then shift to lower conductance values while the e 2 /h plateau remains locked. Based on microscopic atomistic tight-binding theory, we show that in this material, valley and spin degeneracies result in 2 e 2 /h conductance steps for non-interacting holes, suggesting that symmetry breaking mechanisms such as valley polarization dominate the transport properties of such quantum structures.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
