Pseudo-Magnetic Quantum Hall Effect In Oscillating Graphene

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2017-11-02 v3

Abstract

When a graphene layer is stressed, the strain alters the phase an electron accumulates hopping between sites in a way that can be modeled as arising from a pseudo-magnetic vector potential. We examine the case of an oscillating graphene ribbon and explore a new effect - an oscillating resistance arising from an oscillating quantum Hall effect. This pseudo-magneto-resistance is large, and depends upon the frequency and the amplitude of the acoustic oscillations. We calculate the consequences for experiment.
