Valley-Polarized Transport in Graphene Induced by Asymmetric Strain and Ferromagnetic Modulation
In this work, we theoretically investigate the valley-dependent electron transport properties of graphene modulated by two strained regions and a single ferromagnetic stripe based on the Dirac equation and the transfer-matrix method. By constructing a multi-region model, the cond...
