6 Sep 2016 | Abstract: | Certain non-uniform strain applied to graphene flakes has been shown to
induce pseudo-Landau levels in the single-particle spectrum, which can be
rationalized in terms of a pseudo-magnetic field for electrons near the Dirac
points. However, this Landau level structure is in general approximate and
restricted to low energies. Here we introduce a family of strained bipartite
tight-binding models in arbitrary spatial dimension d and analytically prove
that their entire spectrum consists of perfectly degenerate pseudo-Landau
levels. This construction generalizes the case of triaxial strain on graphene’s
honeycomb lattice to arbitrary d; in d=3 our model corresponds to tetraxial
strain on the diamond lattice. We discuss general aspects of pseudo-Landau
levels in arbitrary d and propose experimental realizations. | Source: | arXiv, 1608.8633 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
