Schwinger机制和石墨烯

The Schwinger mechanism and graphene

Danielle Allor, Thomas D. Cohen, David A. McGady

摘要:

在2+1维理论中,导出了带电粒子-反粒子对在宏观外电场中产生的Schwinger机制。在恒定电场$E$中,四种带电荷$q$的无质量费米子单位面积的对产生率由$ π^{-2} \hbar^{-3/2} \tilde{c}^{-1/2} (q E)^{3/2} $给出,其中$\tilde{c}$是二维系统的光速。在某种程度上,未掺杂的石墨烯表现得像2+1维中无质量费米子的量子场论真空,Schwinger机制应该是可以实验验证的。提出了一种可能的实验配置。由于偏离这种理想化的石墨烯图片的影响被简要地考虑。有人认为,与目前的石墨烯样品,测试的Schwinger公式可能是可能的。

英文摘要:

The Schwinger mechanism, the production of charged particle-antiparticle pairs in a macroscopic external electric field, is derived for 2+1 dimensional theories. The rate of pair production per unit area for four species of massless fermions, with charge $q$, in a constant electric field $E$ is given by $ π^{-2} \hbar^{-3/2} \tilde{c}^{-1/2} (q E)^{3/2} $ where $\tilde{c}$ is the speed of light for the two-dimensional system. To the extent undoped graphene behaves like the quantum field-theoretic vacuum for massless fermions in 2+1 dimensions, the Schwinger mechanism should be testable experimentally. A possible experimental configuration for this is proposed. Effects due to deviations from this idealized picture of graphene are briefly considered. It is argued that with present day samples of graphene, tests of the Schwinger formula may be possible.
