Abstract

Longitudinal and transverse high-frequency conductivities of a graphene superlattice placed in an additional dc electric field are calculated. It is shown that in a sufficiently strong transverse field, the dependence of the longitudinal high-frequency conductivity of the superlattice on the ac field frequency changes. This effect is explained by the nonadditivity of the electronic spectrum of the investigated structure.
