The Boltzmann transport equation and other relevant equations were solved analytically to obtain an expression for the AME current density, consisting of longitudinal and Hall components. Our numerical results indicate that both components of the AME current densities display oscillatory behaviour. Furthermore, geometric resonances and Weiss oscillations were each defined using the relationship between the current density and Surface Acoustic Wave (SAW) frequency and the inverse of the applied magnetic field, respectively. Our results show that the AME current density of bandgap graphene, which can be controlled to suit a particular electronic device application, is smaller than that of (gapless) graphene and is therefore, more suited for nanophotonic device applications.展开更多

We employed semiclassical Boltzmann equations approach and compared our results with a similar study that examined the circumferential resistivity of these unique materials. Our work shows that these materials display similar resistivity for both axial and circumferential directions and this largely depends on temperature, intensities of the applied fields and material parameters such as chiral angle. Based on these low-temperature bidirectional conductivity responses, we propose chiral SWCNTs for design of efficient optoelectronic devices.展开更多
