A stochastic nonlinear electrical characteristic of graphene is reported. Abrupt current changes are observed from voltage sweeps between the source and drain with an on/off ratio up to 10^(3). It is found that graphene channel experience…

Electron hydrodynamics gives rise to surprising correlated behaviors in which electrons "cooperate" to quench dissipation and reduce the electric fields needed to sustain the flow. Such collective "free" flows are usually expected at the…
