Longitudinal magnetoresistance in graphene with random Rashba spin-orbit interaction
Published 1 Sep 2024 in cond-mat.mes-hall | (2409.00840v2)
Abstract: We consider longitudinal electronic transport in a graphene monolayer with an external in-plane magnetic field and with extrinsic spin-orbit Rashba interaction. Our main interest is in the in-plane magnetoresistance, observed experimentally. We show, that scattering on Rashba spin-orbit fluctuations leads to a negative magnetoresistance, in agreement with experimental observations. To calculate transport properties we assume an effective model valid for low energy states around the Dirac points, and use the Green function method to derive the electron scattering rate and longitudinal conductivity.
