The current arises from the thermal motion of graphene ripples, which induces an alternating current that is rectified through a nonlinear interaction with the measurement circuit. ## Links - DOI: https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevE.102.042101 - Semantic Scholar: https://www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Fluctuation-induced-current-from-freestanding/Thibado-Kumar/2020 - PDF: https://arxiv.org/abs/2002.09606 - JSON API: https://science-database.com/api/v1/technology/neutrino-energy --- Generated by science-database.com — The Knowledge Interface Paper ID: curated-ne-15 | Hub: neutrino-energy
