Graphene nanomembranes as valleytronic devices — •Nikodem Szpak1, Walter Ortiz2,3, and Thomas Stegmann31Fakultät für Physik, Universität Duibsurg-Essen, Duisburg, Germany — 2Instituto de Investigacion en Ciencias Basicas y Aplicadas, Universidad Autonoma del Estado de Morelos, Cuernavaca, Mexico — 3Instituto de Ciencias Fisicas, Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, Cuernavaca, Mexico

We investigate the electronic transport in graphene nanoelectromechanical resonators (GrNEMS), known also as graphene nanodrums or nanomembranes. We demonstrate that these devices, despite small values of strain, between 0.1 and 1%, can be used as efficient and robust valley polarizers and filters. Their working principle is based on the pseudomagnetic field generated by the strain of the graphene membrane. They work for ballistic electron beams as well as for strongly dispersed ones and can be also used as electron beam collimators due to the focusing effect of the pseudomagnetic field. We show additionally that the current flow can be estimated by semiclassical trajectories which represent a computationally efficient tool for predicting the functionality of the devices.
