Effect of a constant electric field on mutual rectification in a graphene superlattice

详细

The effect of a transverse dc electric field on two-wave mutual rectification in a graphene superlattice (GSL) is investigated. Two field orientations are considered: (i) the polarization plane is parallel to the GSL axis and (ii) the polarization plane is perpendicular to the GSL axis. In both cases, the constant field is perpendicular to the polarization plane. The current density is calculated within a one-miniband model using the Boltzmann equation in the approximation of constant relaxation time.
