Energy-driven Drag at Charge Neutrality in Graphene
arXiv:1205.5257 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.109.236602
Abstract
Coulomb coupling between proximal layers in graphene heterostructures results in efficient energy transfer between the layers. We predict that, in the presence of correlated density inhomogeneities in the layers, vertical energy transfer has a strong impact on lateral charge transport. In particular, for Coulomb drag it dominates over the conventional momentum drag near zero doping. The dependence on doping and temperature, which is different for the two drag mechanisms, can be used to separate these mechanisms in experiment. We predict distinct features such as a peak at zero doping and a multiple sign reversal, which provide diagnostics for this new drag mechanism.
