Up until now everybody assumed it was due to the photovoltaic effect , but a new research by MIT researchers shows that this is not true . They found that light on graphene causes it to develop two regions with different electrical properties which creates a temperature . difference This hot-carrier response is what generates the current and it's very unusual it's been observed before but only under very low temperature or when using intense high power laser .

The researchers deposited a few atoms of each material on graphene , which then started to move on their own self-assembly to form islands on the graphene . The lead atoms moved quickly when cooled down , while the dysprosium moved slowly , even when heated . up The fact that lead moved quickly means that it does not have a strong interaction with the graphene sheet .
