Valley polarized transport in strained graphene based Corbino disc
Abstract
We study analytically and numerically the magnetotransport of strained graphene in a Corbino geometry gating in the presence of an external perpendicular magnetic field. The conductance of the Corbino disc of deformed graphene with a uniaxial and an inhomogeneous strain is calculated by using the Landauer-B\"{u}ttiker method. We show that the oscillation period of the conductance as a function of the magnetic flux depends on uniaxial strain and the conductance sharply drops along the direction of graphene stretching. The conductance amplitude, on the other hand, can be manipulated by induced pseudomagnetic flux. A valley polarized regime, caused by the inhomogeneous strain, is obtained and in addition we find a wide energy interval in which the system is fully valley polarized.
