Abstract

In compensated two-component systems in confined, two-dimensional geometries, nonlocal response may appear due to external magnetic field. Within a phenomenological two-fluid framework, we demonstrate the evolution of charge flow profiles and the emergence of a giant nonlocal pattern dominating charge transport in magnetic field. Applying our approach to the specific case of intrinsic graphene, we suggest a simple physical explanation for the experimental observation of giant nonlocality. Our results provide an intuitive way to predict the outcome of future experiments exploring the rich physics of many-body electron systems in confined geometries as well as to design possible applications.
