The acoustoelectric effect in graphene is studied in a graphene/lithium niobate hybrid system, which was prepared by transferring large area single-layer graphene grown on copper onto lithium niobate SAW devices. The transfer of momentum from the surface acoustic waves (SAWs), generated on the surface of the lithium niobate, to the carriers in graphene results in an attenuation and velocity shift of the wave, and gives rise to an acoustoelectric current. The acoustoelectric current, and the amplitude and velocity of the SAW are measured using a sourcemeter and oscilloscope, respectively. Macroscopic acoustoelectric current flowing over several hundred micrometers is demonstrated in graphene, which is measured to be directly proportional to the SAW intensity and frequency at room temperature. A relatively simple classical relaxation model, which describes the piezoelectric interaction between SAWs and the carriers in a two-dimensional electron system, is used to explain the experimental observations. The investigation of the acoustoelectric current as a function of temperature demonstrates the ability of SAWs of different wavelengths to probe graphene at different length scales. By tuning the conductivity of the graphene through the use of a top gate, voltage-controlled phase (velocity) shifters are demonstrated. The acoustoelectric current measured as a function of gate voltage demonstrates that an equal density of electrons and holes are transported at the charge neutrality point, reflecting the unique properties of graphene.

nÃo hà / Neste trabalho à apresentado um estudo sobre as caracterÃsticas de magnetizaÃÃo estÃtica de um MRRV â Motor Rotativo de RelutÃncia VariÃvel â de 1 cv, com base na simulaÃÃo do projeto da mÃquina utilizando AnÃlise por Elementos Finitos (AEF) 3D com malhas tetraÃdricas e hexaÃdricas, com vistas a investigar a que mais adequava-se a esse estudo. TrÃs mÃtodos experimentais foram utilizados para a validaÃÃo do projeto via Elementos Finitos: mÃtodo de determinaÃÃo da impedÃncia com tensÃo CA, mÃtodo do tempo de subida de corrente DC de fase e mÃtodo do tempo de descida de corrente DC de fase. Um estudo comparativo foi realizado como forma de efetivar a validaÃÃo. Todas as tarefas de simulaÃÃo e de mediÃÃo foram realizadas utilizando um microcomputador. Para a realizaÃÃo da simulaÃÃo do projeto foi utilizado um software de simulaÃÃo numÃrica com anÃlise dos Elementos Finitos (CST STUDIO SUITE TM 2010Â) em trÃs dimensÃes, utilizando para tanto, malhas tetraÃdricas e hexaÃdricas. Para as tarefas de mediÃÃo, foi utilizada tambÃm uma placa de aquisiÃÃo de dados (DAQ) integrada a duas interfaces: do LabView e Signal Express ambos desenvolvidos pelo o mesmo fabricante da placa de aquisiÃÃo (National Instruments) com o objetivo de determinar a indutÃncia por fase do MRRV. A partir dos valores obtidos de indutÃncias por fase, foi calculado o fluxo concatenado por fase. GrÃficos de fluxo concatenado por corrente e perfis de indutÃncias para sete posiÃÃes sÃo apresentados e entÃo comparados com a simulaÃÃo por AEF. Tabelas evidenciando as diferenÃas de alguns valores entre os mÃtodos em termo de porcentagem sÃo apresentadas e discutidas. Uma avaliaÃÃo sobre todos os mÃtodos foi feita, evidenciando aspectos positivos, negativos, limitaÃÃes e sugestÃes de melhoria dos mesmos. A mÃquina estudada foi um Motor Rotativo de relutÃncia VariÃvel 6/4 (6 pÃlos no estator e 4 pÃlos no rotor), trifÃsico, de 1 cv de potÃncia, corrente nominal de 10A e velocidade de 2.000 rpm, projetado pelo Grupo de Pesquisa em AutomaÃÃo e RobÃtica do Departamento de Engenharia ElÃtrica da Universidade Federal do CearÃ. / This paper presents a study on the characteristics of a static magnetization VRRM - Variable Reluctance Rotating Motor â 1 hp, based on the simulation of machine design using Finite Element Analysis (FEA) with 3D tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes intending to investigate which meshes is the most suited to this study. Three experimental methods to validate the design via Finite Elements were used: method for determining the impedance with AC voltage, the rising time method of DC current phase and falling time of DC current phase method. All tasks of simulation and measurement were performed using a personal computer. To perform the design simulation a numeric simulation software was used with finite element analysis (CST STUDIO SUITE TM 2010Â) in three dimensions, using both, tetrahedral and hexahedral meshes. For measurement tasks also a data acquisition board (DAQ) integrated with two interfaces was used: the LabView and Signal Express both developed by the same manufacturer of the acquisition board (National Instruments) aiming to determine the inductance per phase of the VRRM. From the values obtained of inductance per phase the flux linkage per phase was calculated. Graphs of flux linkage with current and inductance profiles for seven positions are shown and compared with the simulation FEA. Tables showing the values of some differences between the methods in terms of percentage are presented and discussed. An evaluation of all methods was done, showing positives and negatives aspects, limitations and suggestions to improve them. The machine was a studied Variable Reluctance Rotating Motor 6/4 (6 stator poles and 4 poles on the rotor), three-phase, 1 hp, rated current of 10A and speed of 2.000 rpm, designed by the Research Group on Automation and Robotics, Department of Electrical Engineering, Federal University of CearÃ.
