Abstract

By means of a nonlinear two-component hydrodynamic model, we study the valley-polarized collective motion of electrons in a strained graphene sheet. The self-consistent numerical solution in real space indicates the existence of valley-polarized edge plasmons due to a strain-induced pseudomagnetic field. The valley polarization of the edge pseudomagnetoplasmon can occur in a specific valley, depending on the pseudomagnetic field and the electron density in equilibrium. A full valley polarization is achieved at the edge of the graphene sheet for a pseudomagnetic field of tens of Tesla, which is a realistic value in current experimental technologies.
