[6p-A411-2] Effect of strain-induced pseudo magnetic fields on graphene electron transport

Akinobu Kanda1, Hikari Tomori1,2 (1.Univ. Tsukuba, 2.PRESTO, JST)

Keywords:graphene, strain, band gap

Lattice strain in graphene produces vector potential, and so, a spatial variation of strain corresponds to “a pseudo magnetic field” working on electrons in graphene. Tailoring spatial variation of strain allows one to modulate electronic states and transport properties of graphene. In this talk, we will explain our recent efforts to induce a transport gap in graphene field effect transistors with strain.
