Abstract

The Johnson-Nyquist noise associated with the intrinsic conductivity of the electron liquid, induces fluctuations of the electron density in charge-neutral graphene devices. In the presence of external electric and magnetic fields, the fluctuations of charge density and electric current induce a fluctuating hydrodynamic flow. We show that the resulting advection of charge produces a fluctuation contribution to the macroscopic conductivity of the system, σfl\sigma_{\mathrm{fl}}, and develop a quantitative theory of σfl\sigma_{\mathrm{fl}}. At zero magnetic field, σfl\sigma_{\mathrm{fl}} diverges logarithmically with the system size and becomes rapidly suppressed at relatively small fields. This results in giant magnetoresistance of the system.
