Quantum Hall response to time-dependent strain gradients in graphene
arXiv:1909.09991 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.124.026602
Abstract
Mechanical deformations of graphene induce a term in the Dirac Hamiltonian which is reminiscent of an electromagnetic vector potential. Strain gradients along particular lattice directions induce local pseudomagnetic fields and substantial energy gaps as indeed observed experimentally. Expanding this analogy, we propose to complement the pseudomagnetic field by a pseudoelectric field, generated by a time dependent oscillating stress applied to a graphene ribbon. The joint Hall-like response to these crossed fields results in a strain-induced charge current along the ribbon. We analyze in detail a particular experimental implementation in the (pseudo) quantum Hall regime with weak intervalley scattering. This allows us to predict an (approximately) quantized Hall current which is unaffected by screening due to diffusion currents.
