Abstract

We study that carriers in monolayer graphene can be accelerated to the Fermi velocity driven by high-power terahertz pulse E_THz without lattice heating at the charge-neutrality point. It is because that electron-phonon scattering rate is strongly suppressed due to the decreasing density of state near the Dirac point. Therefore, the carriers can be accelerated without energy transfer to optical phonons. As a result, carriers in graphene can travel at the Fermi velocity. At the Fermi lever larger than 110 meV, in contrast, excited carriers by E_THz heated the lattice of graphene and optical phonons are generated. The emitted optical phonons increase carrier-carrier scattering rate and drift velocity or carrier mobility can be reduced. This study indicates that the electron-optical phonon rate is affected by Fermi level in the graphene and provides insight for high-speed electronics of graphene-based applications.
