Dirac Fermions in Graphite: the State of Art
نویسنده
چکیده
Macroscopic concentration of massless charge carriers with linear conic spectrum Dirac Fermions (DF) was shown in 2004 to exist in Highly Oriented Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) and governs its electronic properties. These carriers can have the same nature as DF observed in graphite monolayer (Graphene) and let to view HOPG as superposition of 2D carbon layers, almost independent electronically. We overview here the recent experimental evidences of 2D Dirac Fermions in Graphite and their similarity with carriers in Graphene.

Observation of magnetophonon resonance of Dirac fermions in graphite.
Coherent coupling of Dirac fermion magnetoexcitons with an optical phonon is observed in graphite as marked magnetic-field dependent splittings and anticrossing behavior of the two coupled modes. The sharp magnetophonon resonance occurs in regions of the graphite sample with properties of superior single-layer graphene having enhanced lifetimes of Dirac fermions. The greatly reduced carrier bro...
متن کاملObservation of Landau levels in potassium-intercalated graphite under a zero magnetic field
The charge carriers in graphene are massless Dirac fermions and exhibit a relativistic Landau-level quantization in a magnetic field. Recently, it has been reported that, without any external magnetic field, quantized energy levels have been also observed from strained graphene nanobubbles on a platinum surface, which were attributed to the Landau levels of massless Dirac fermions in graphene f...
متن کاملThe effective fine-structure constant of freestanding graphene measured in graphite.
Electrons in graphene behave like Dirac fermions, permitting phenomena from high-energy physics to be studied in a solid-state setting. A key question is whether or not these fermions are critically influenced by Coulomb correlations. We performed inelastic x-ray scattering experiments on crystals of graphite and applied reconstruction algorithms to image the dynamical screening of charge in a ...

Submitted for the MAR13 Meeting of The American Physical Society Dirac Half-Metal in a Triangular Ferrimagnet HIROAKI ISHIZUKA, YUKITOSHI MOTOME, Dept. of Appl. Phys., Univ. of Tokyo — Massless Dirac fermions show substantially different nature from ordinary electrons due to the peculiar cone-like dispersion with the point node. While it was originally introduced in the relativistic quantum the...
متن کاملNon-Relativistic Limit of Neutron Beta-Decay Cross-Section in the Presence of Strong Magnetic Field
One of the most important reactions of the URCA that lead to the cooling of a neutron star, is neutron beta-decay ( ). In this research, the energy spectra and wave functions of massive fermions taking into account the Anomalous Magnetic Moment (AMM) in the presence of a strong changed magnetic field are calculated. For this purpose, the Dirac-Pauli equation for charged and neutral fermions is ...
