▎ 摘  要

Relativistic Brownian motion can be inexpensively demonstrated on a graphene chip. The interplay of stochastic and relativistic dynamics, governing the transport of charge carrier in graphene, induces noise-controlled effects such as (i) a stochastic effective mass, detectable as a suppression of the particle mobility with increasing the temperature; (ii) transverse harmonic mixing, whereby electron transport can be controlled by two orthogonal, commensurate ac drives; (iii) a transverse ratchet effect, measurable as a net current orthogonal to an ac drive on an asymmetric substrate, and (iv) chaotic stochastic resonance. Such properties can be of practical applications in the emerging graphene technology.
