Abstract

Electron-electron interactions (EEI) play a pivotal role in the transport behavior of carriers confined in a two-dimensional system. The strength of the interaction can be tuned by changing carrier concentration in a conventional two-dimensional system, while it expectedly cannot be controlled in monolayer graphene with a linear dispersion relation since the interaction parameter is not related to carrier concentration. Here, an anomalous carrier-concentration dependence of the EEI is observed in epitaxial graphene on SiC. From quantum transport measurement, a logarithmic temperature dependence of the Hall coefficient is obtained, which is a manifestation of the EEI. From the logarithmic temperature dependence, the EEI-related factor Kee is extracted. Unexpectedly, the extracted Kee shows an increase on increasing carrier concentration, which is further confirmed by analyzing logarithmic correction to the Drude conductivity. This can be attributed to the carrier-concentration dependence of Fermi-liquid constant F0σ due to gas absorption, which offers a route to control the EEI in graphene.
