Gauge fields in graphene

Vozmediano, M. A. H., Katsnelson, M. I., Guinea, F.

Understand

The physics of graphene is acting as a bridge between quantum field theory and condensed matter physics due to the special quality of the graphene quasiparticles behaving as massless two dimensional Dirac fermions.

  • Moreover, the particular structure of the 2D crystal lattice sets the arena to study and unify concepts from elasticity, topology and cosmology.
  • In this paper we analyze these connections combining a pedagogical, intuitive approach with a more rigorous formalism when required.
