Negative-curvature spacetime solutions for graphene

J Phys Condens Matter. 2021 Jan 25;33(13). doi: 10.1088/1361-648X/abd9a2.

Abstract

We provide a detailed analysis of the electronic properties of graphene-like materials with charge carriers living on a curved substrate, focusing in particular on constant negative-curvature spacetime. An explicit parametrization is also worked out in the remarkable case of Beltrami geometry, with an analytic solution for the pseudoparticles modes living on the curved bidimensional surface. We will then exploit the correspondent massless Dirac description, to determine how it affects the sample local density of states.

Keywords: Dirac materials theoretical physics; field theories in lower dimensions; negative-curvature spacetime geometry.
