▎ 摘  要

We investigate the energy relaxation of hot carriers in a CVD-grown graphene device with a top h-BN layer by driving the devices into the nonequilibrium regime. By using the magnetic field dependent conductance fluctuations of our graphene device as a self-thermometer, we can determine the effective carrier temperature T-e at various driving currents I while keeping the lattice temperature T-L fixed. Interestingly, it is found that T-e is proportional to I, indicating little electron-phonon scattering in our device. Furthermore the average rate of energy loss per carrier T-e is proportional to (T-e(2)-T-L(2)), suggesting the heat diffusion rather than acoustic phonon processes in our system. The long energy relaxation times due to the weak electron-phonon coupling in CVD graphene capped with h-BN layer as well as in exfoliated multilayer graphene can find applications in hot carrier graphene-based devices.
