Electron pumping in graphene mechanical resonators.

The combination of high-frequency vibrations and metallic transport in graphene makes it a unique material for nanoelectromechanical devices. In this Letter, we show that graphene-based nanoelectromechanical devices are extremely well suited for charge pumping due to the sensitivity of its transport coefficients to perturbations in electrostatic potential and mechanical deformations, with the potential for novel small scale devices with useful applications.
