The stability of electronic Poiseuille flow in two-dimensional materials
Abstract
Motivated by the experimental observation of electronic Poiseuille flow in graphene [J.A. Sulpizio et al. Nature 576, 75 (2019)] we analyze the linear stability of plane-Poiseuille flow of electrons in a two-dimensional material using a modified Orr-Sommerfeld equation. We calculate the critical current needed to make the flow unstable as a function of the experimental parameters and characterize the most favorable situation, that is the one needing the lowest current density, to observe flow instability. We predict the streamwise wavenumber and frequency at which the instability occurs and discuss the difficulties of an experiment aimed at probing this phenomenon.
