Surface acoustic wave propagation in monolayer graphene

Abstract

Surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagation is a powerful method to investigate 2D electron systems. We show how SAW observables are influenced by coupling to the 2D massless Dirac electrons of graphene and argue that Landau oscillations can be observed as function of gate voltage for constant field. Contrary to other transport measurements, the zero-field SAW propagation gives the wave vector dependence of graphene conductivity for small wave numbers. We predict a crossover from Schroedinger to Dirac like behaviour as a function of gate voltage, with no attenuation in the latter for clean samples.
