Surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagation is a powerful method to investigate two-dimensional (2D) electron systems. We show how SAW observables are influenced by coupling to the 2D massless Dirac electrons of graphene and argue that Landau oscillations in SAW propagation can be observed as function of gate voltage for constant field. Contrary to other transport measurements, the zero-field SAW propagation gives the wave-vector dependence of graphene conductivity for small wave numbers. We…

TLDR
The proposed simple model based on optothermal SAW phase modulation was found to be in good agreement with the experimental results and its optical response to illumination by 633-nm light from a He-Ne laser was studied.
Giant acoustically-induced synthetic Hall voltages in graphene
Any departure from graphene's flatness leads to the emergence of artificial gauge fields that act on the motion of the Dirac fermions through an associated pseudomagnetic field. Here, we demonstrate…
