Abstract

Aharonov-Bohm oscillations are observed in a graphene quantum ring with a topgate covering one arm of the ring. As graphene is a gapless semiconductor, this geometry allows to study not only the quantum interference of electrons with electrons or holes with holes, but also the unique situation of quantum interference between electrons and holes. The period and amplitude of the observed Aharonov-Bohm oscillations are independent of the sign of the applied gate voltage showing the equivalence between unipolar and dipolar interferences.
