Acoustomagnetoelectric Effect in Graphene Nanoribbon in the Presence of External Electric and Magnetic Field

The Acoustomagnetoelectric Effect (AME) in Graphene Nanoribbon (GNR) was theoretically studied using the Boltzmann kinetic equation. On open circuit, the general formular for Surface Acoustomagnetoelectric field ($\vec{E}_{SAME}$) in GNR with energy dispersion $\varepsilon(p)$ near the Fermi point was calculated. The $E_{SAME}$ was found to depend on the magnetic strength ($\eta$), $\alpha$ = ${\hbar \omega_q}/{E_g}$ and the energy gap ($E_g$). The expression for $\vec{E}_{SAME}$ was analyzed numerically for varying width of GNR, magnetic strength ($\eta$) and $\alpha$ at different sub-bands indices ($p_i$). It was noted that the dependence of $\vec{E}_{SAME}$ on the width of GNR increased to a saturation point of approximately $15$Vcm$^{-1}$ and remained constant. For $E_{SAME}$ versus $\eta$, the $E_{SAME}$ increases rapidly to a maximum point and then decayed to a constant minimum value. The graph was modulated either by varying the width of GNR or the sub-band index $p_i$ with an inversion occurring at $p_i = 6$. The dependence of $E_{SAME}$ versus $\alpha$ was analyzed. The $E_{SAME}$ was constant up to a point and sharply increased asymptotically at approximately $\alpha = 1$. A $3$D graph of $\vec{E}_{SAME}$ with $\eta$ and width is also presented. This study is relevant for investigating the properties of GNR.
