Abstract:
We compute the optical conductivity and polarization for an out-of-plane deformation in graphene nanostructure using a theoretical approach based on Dirac equation solutions on curved2+1dimensional space-time, where the space part is considered to correspond to the Beltrami pseudosphere which belongs to the family of surfaces with negative constant Gaussian curvature. We found that different parameters of deformation along one direction translate into an enhancement of the optical conductivity peaks and polarization magnitude in the far-infrared frequencies. This allows for a very high degree of polarization with a single layer graphene and opens up a potential prospect of employing graphene layer as efficient polarizers. Therefore the experimental predictions related to the electronic configuration of the corresponding graphene-like sample may be explicitly worked out.
