Valley current in graphene through electron-phonon interaction

Ankang Liu, Alexander M. Finkel'stein

AI总结:

本文研究石墨烯中由电子-声子碰撞产生的谷电流,发现无需打破空间反演对称性即可使不同谷电子反向偏转,且随温度升高而增强,可通过非局域变压器检测。

摘要:

我们讨论了谷电流,它由石墨烯中的准粒子携带。我们表明,谷电流的产生源于电子-声子碰撞积分中的一个特殊项,该积分混合了电子-声子相互作用中的标量和矢量规范场类顶点。这种混合使得声子与电子的碰撞对其手性敏感,而两个谷中的手性是相反的。由于与声子的碰撞,不同谷中的电子向相反方向偏转。对于谷依赖的准粒子电流偏转,不需要打破空间反演对称性。该效应在原始石墨烯或双层石墨烯样品中都存在,并且由于在较高温度下与声子的碰撞率更高,该效应随温度升高而增强。通过使用适当设计的非局域变压器测量电流,可以检测由准粒子携带的谷电流。

英文摘要:

We discuss valley current, which is carried by quasiparticles in graphene. We show that the valley current arises owing to a peculiar term in the electron-phonon collision integral that mixes the scalar and vector gauge-field-like vertices in the electron-phonon interaction. This mixing makes collisions of phonons with electrons sensitive to their chirality, which is opposite in two valleys. As a result of collisions with phonons, electrons of the different valleys deviate in opposite directions. Breaking the spatial inversion symmetry is not needed for a valley-dependent deviation of the quasiparticle current. The effect exists both in pristine graphene or bilayer graphene samples, and it increases with temperature owing to a higher rate of collisions with phonons at higher temperatures. The valley current carried by quasiparticles could be detected by measuring the electric current using a nonlocal transformer of a suitable design.
