Emergence of electromotive force by time dependent gauge fields in monolayer graphene
Abstract
We propose a valley-dependent electromotive force in a graphene device based on a deformed graphene in the presence of magnetic field. The coexistence of the strain and magnetic field in the presented mechanism leads to a valley dependent electromotive force in zero Fermi energy. In the non-zero Fermi energies strain alone could induce a valley dependent electromotive force while the magnetic field alone could not induce any electromotive force in zero and any level of Fermi energy. The calculations are based on the Berry curvature approaches.
