Dramatic increase of viscous effects in magnetohydrodynamics in graphene

Previously we developed theory to increase viscous effects in hydrodynamic flow in a GaAs heterostructure using 1D modulated superlattice of micromagnets. This work featured the extraordinary no-stress boundary condition that has only been experimentally realised in electron hydrodynamics in GaAs. We now extend this work to the more general finite-slip boundary condition and detail an experimental set up for monolayer graphene.
