▎ 摘  要

We study electronic transport in graphene under the influence of a transversal magnetic field B(r) = B(x)e(z) with the asymptotics B(x -> +/-infinity) = +/- B-0, which could be realized via a folded graphene sheet in a constant magnetic field, for example. By solving the effective Dirac equation, we find robust modes with a finite energy gap which propagate along the fold-where particles and holes move in opposite directions. Exciting these particle-hole pairs with incident (optical or infrared) photons would then generate a nearly perfect charge separation and thus a strong magnetophotoelectric or magnetothermoelectric effect-even at room temperature.
