Anisotropic photoconductivity in graphene

arXiv:1104.0902 · doi:10.1209/0295-5075/96/37006

Abstract

We investigate the photoconductivity of graphene within the relaxation time approximation. In presence of the inter-band transitions induced by the linearly polarized light the photoconductivity turns out to be highly anisotropic due to the pseudospin selection rule for Dirac-like carriers. The effect can be observed in clean undoped graphene samples and be utilized for light polarization detection.
