We use supersymmetry transformations to obtain new one parameter family of inhomogeneous magnetic fields $\mathbf{B} = \widetilde{\mathcal{B}}(x,λ) \hat{e}_z$ for which the massless Dirac electron possesses exact solution. The inhomogeneity appearing in $\widetilde{\mathcal{B}}(x,λ)$ can be controlled by the parameter $λ$. The obtained magnetic fields are interpreted as deformed variants of some physically attainable well known magnetic fields. A particular example, when a constant magnetic field is deformed, is considered to show that equidistant Landau levels exist even in the presence of an infinite number of specially designed inhomogeneous magnetic fields.
This work analyzes monolayer graphene in external electromagnetic fields, which is described by the Dirac equation with minimal coupling. Supersymmetric quantum mechanics allows building new Dirac equations with modified magnetic fields. Here, we will use complex factorization energies and iterate the method in order to arrive at Hermitian graphene Hamiltonians. Finally, we compare these results with the matrix supersymmetric quantum mechanics approach.
We study the confinement of Dirac fermions in armchair graphene nanoribbons by means of a quantum-dot-type electrostatic potential. With the use of specific projection operators, we find exact solutions for some bound states that satisfy appropriate boundary conditions. We show that the energies of these bound states belong either to the gap of valence and conducting bands or they represent BIC's (bound states in the continuum) whose energies are embedded in the continuous spectrum.

Heavy Dirac fermions in a graphene/topological insulator hetero-junction
石墨烯和三维拓扑绝缘体表面态的低能物理都是用具有线性色散的无隙狄拉克费米子来描述的。在这项工作中，我们预测了一个“重”狄拉克费米子出现在石墨烯/拓扑绝缘体异质结，其中的线性项几乎消失，相应的能量色散变得高度非线性。通过结合{ \it ab initio}计算和一个有效的低能模型，我们明确地显示了如何在石墨烯和拓扑绝缘体的表面态之间的狄拉克费米子的强杂化可以降低狄拉克费米子的费米速度。由于线性项可以忽略不计，相互作用效应将大大增强，并可以驱动“重”狄拉克费米子态到具有非零霍尔电导的半量子霍尔态。
Starting from an engineered periodic optical structure formed by waveguide arrays comprised of two interleaved lattices, we simulate a deformed Dirac equation. We show that the system also simulate graphene nano ribbons under strain. This optical analogue allows us to study the phenomenon of Zitterbewegung for the modified Dirac equation. Our results show that the amplitude of Zitterbewegung oscillations changes as the deformation parameter is changed.
A quantum graph model for a single sheet of graphene is extended to bilayer and trilayer Bernal-stacked graphene; the spectra are characterized and the dispersion relations explicitly obtained; Dirac cones are then proven to be present only for trilayer graphene, although the bilayer has a gapless parabolic band component. Our model rigorously exhibits basic facts from tight-binding calculations, effective two-dimensional models and a $π$-orbital continuum model with nearest-neighbour tunneling that have been discussed in the physics literature.
Graphene's electronic structure can be fundamentally altered when a substrate- or adatom-induced Kekulé superlattice couples the valley and isospin degrees of freedom. Here, we show that the band structure of Kekulé-textured graphene can be re-engineered through layer stacking. We predict a family of Kekulé graphene bilayers that exhibit band structures with up to six valleys, and room-temperature Dirac quasiparticles whose masses can be tuned electrostatically. Fermi velocities half as large as in pristine graphene put this system in the strongly coupled regime, where correlated ground states…
New Dirac points appear when periodic potentials are applied to graphene, and there are many interesting effects near these new Dirac points. Here we investigate the $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ effect of fermions described by a Gaussian wave packet in graphene superlattice near new Dirac points. The $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ near different Dirac points has similar characteristics, while Fermions near new Dirac points have different group velocities in both $x$- and $y$-direction, which causes the different properties of the $\textit{Zitterbewegung}$ near new Dirac points. We also investigate the…
The recent developments in the emerging field of plasmonics in graphene and other Dirac systems are reviewed and a comprehensive introduction to the standard models and techniques is given. In particular, we discuss intrinsic plasmon excitations of single and bilayer graphene via hydrodynamic equations and the random phase approximation, but also comment on double and multilayer structures. Additionally, we address Dirac systems in the retardation limit and also with large spin-orbit coupling including topological insulators. Finally, we summarize basic properties of the charge, current and ph…
We uncover a new type of magic-angle phenomena when an AA-stacked graphene bilayer is twisted relative to another graphene system with band touching. In the simplest case this constitutes a trilayer system formed by an AA-stacked bilayer twisted relative to a single layer of graphene. We find multiple anisotropic Dirac cones coexisting in such twisted multilayer structures at certain angles, which we call "Dirac magic." We trace the origin of Dirac magic angles to the geometric structure of the twisted AA-bilayer Dirac cones relative to the other band-touching spectrum in the moiré reciprocal …
We calculate the spectrum of massive Dirac fermions in graphene in the presence of an inhomogeneous magnetic field modeled by a step function. We find an analytical universal relation between the bandwidths and the propagating velocities of the modes at the border of the magnetic region, showing how by tuning the mass term one can control the speed of these traveling edge states.
