Magneto-photoelectric effect in graphene via tailored potential landscapes

Abstract

We consider the propagation of charge carriers in planar graphene under the combined influence of a constant transversal magnetic field BB and an in-plane varying electric potential ϕ(x)\phi(x). By suitably designing the potential landscape ϕ(x)\phi(x), we may effectively steer charge carriers generated by photo-excitation, for example, in order to achieve an efficient charge separation. These finding may pave the way for transport schemes or photoelectric/photovoltaic applications.
