34. We also performed simulations by using the energy dependent phonon emission rate to check the validity of the constant rate model. The energy dependent rate was calculated taking account of the two dimensionality and the linear energy-band dispersion of monolayer graphene and was also used in Ref.. Two electron velocity profiles, resulting from the energy dependent model and the constant model, are compared and the averaged difference is 4.0. When the drain voltage and the electron energy are low, we may say that the constant model is a good approximation if we choose a proper value.
