متن کاملValley-contrasting physics in graphene: magnetic moment and topological transport.
We investigate physical properties that can be used to distinguish the valley degree of freedom in systems where inversion symmetry is broken, using graphene systems as examples. We show that the pseudospin associated with the valley index of carriers has an intrinsic magnetic moment, in close analogy with the Bohr magneton for the electron spin. There is also a valley dependent Berry phase eff...
متن کاملStrain solitons and topological defects in bilayer graphene.
Bilayer graphene has been a subject of intense study in recent years. The interlayer registry between the layers can have dramatic effects on the electronic properties: for example, in the presence of a perpendicular electric field, a band gap appears in the electronic spectrum of so-called Bernal-stacked graphene [Oostinga JB, et al. (2007) Nature Materials 7:151-157]. This band gap is intimat...
متن کاملSingular defects with fractional topological charge in σ models and gauge theories . 1
Singular defects with fractional topological charge in σ models and gauge theories. Abstract A novel class of self-dual solutions in σ models and gauge theories is considered. The contribution of the corresponding fluctuations to the chiral condensate is calculated. We discuss the few tightly connected problems, such as the U (1) problem, the θ dependence and the chiral symmetry breaking within...
متن کاملTopological number for locally convex topological spaces with continuous semi-norms
In this paper we introduce the concept of topological number for locally convex topological spaces and prove some of its properties. It gives some criterions to study locally convex topological spaces in a discrete approach.
