Hall Drag and Magnetodrag in Graphene

Massless Dirac fermions in graphene at charge neutrality form a strongly interacting system in which both charged and neutral (energy) modes play an important role. These modes are essentially decoupled in the absence of a magnetic field, but become strongly coupled when the field is applied. We sho...

Resumo:Massless Dirac fermions in graphene at charge neutrality form a strongly interacting system in which both charged and neutral (energy) modes play an important role. These modes are essentially decoupled in the absence of a magnetic field, but become strongly coupled when the field is applied. We show that this regime is characterized by strong magnetodrag and Hall drag, originating from long-range energy currents and spatial temperature gradients. The energy-driven effects arise in a wide temperature range, and feature an unusually strong dependence on field and carrier density. We argue that this mechanism accounts for the recently observed giant magnetodrag and Hall drag occurring at classically weak fields.
