Quantum transport of massless Dirac fermions.
Motivated by recent graphene transport experiments, we undertake a numerical study of the conductivity of disordered two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions. Our results reveal distinct differences between the cases of short-range and Coulomb randomly distributed scatterers. We speculate that this behavior is related to the Boltzmann transport theory prediction of dirty-limit behavior for Coulo...
متن کاملNearly massless Dirac fermions hosted by Sb square net in BaMnSb2
Layered compounds AMnBi2 (A = Ca, Sr, Ba, or rare earth element) have been established as Dirac materials. Dirac electrons generated by the two-dimensional (2D) Bi square net in these materials are normally massive due to the presence of a spin-orbital coupling (SOC) induced gap at Dirac nodes. Here we report that the Sb square net in an isostructural compound BaMnSb2 can host nearly massless D...
متن کاملHighly Anisotropic Dirac Fermions in Square Graphynes.
We predict a family of 2D carbon (C) allotropes, square graphynes (S-graphynes) that exhibit highly anisotropic Dirac fermions, using first-principle calculations within density functional theory. They have a square unit-cell containing two sizes of square C rings. The equal-energy contour of their 3D band structure shows a crescent shape, and the Dirac crescent has varying Fermi velocities fro...
متن کاملExactly massless fermions on the Lattice
My talk at Lattice 98 essentially consisted of two parts : (1) The general solution of the Ginsparg-Wilson (GW) relation; (2) Some numerical results for the ( generalized ) NeubergerDirac fermion operator. In this writeup, due to the page limit, I confine my discussions to the second part of which I did not have enough time to cover in my talk. For the first part, I refer to ref. [5] and ref. [...
متن کاملMagnetic confinement of massless Dirac fermions in graphene.
Because of Klein tunneling, electrostatic potentials are unable to confine Dirac electrons. We show that it is possible to confine massless Dirac fermions in a monolayer graphene sheet by inhomogeneous magnetic fields. This allows one to design mesoscopic structures in graphene by magnetic barriers, e.g., quantum dots or quantum point contacts.
