Weak Localization and Electron-electron Interactions in Few Layer Black Phosphorus Devices

Few layer phosphorene(FLP) devices are extensively studied due to its unique electronic properties and potential applications on nano-electronics . Here we present magnetotransport studies which reveal electron-electron interactions as the dominant scattering mechanism in hexagonal boron nitride-encapsulated FLP devices. From weak localization measurements, we estimate the electron dephasing length to be 30 to 100 nm at low temperatures, which exhibits a strong dependence on carrier density n and a power-law dependence on temperature (~T-0.4). These results establish that the dominant scattering mechanism in FLP is electron-electron interactions.
