We study the energy of quasi-particles in graphene within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The quasi-particles are confined via an inhomogeneous magnetic field and interact via the Coulomb potential. We show that the associated functional has a minimizer and determine the stability conditions for the N-particle problem in such a graphene quantum dot.

In this article we discuss generalized harmonic confinement of massless Dirac fermions in (2+1) dimensions using smooth finite magnetic fields. It is shown that these types of magnetic fields lead to conditional confinement, that is confinement is po ssible only when the angular momentum (and parameters which depend on it) assumes some specific values. The solutions for non zero energy states as well as zero energy states have been found exactly.
We present a formalism to calculate the orbital magnetization of interacting Dirac fermions under a magnetic field. In this approach, the divergence difficulty is overcome with a special limit of the derivative of the thermodynamic potential with res pect to the magnetic field. The formalism satisfies the particle-hole symmetry of the Dirac fermions system. We apply the formalism to the interacting Dirac fermions in graphene. The charge and spin orderings and the exchange interactions between all the Landau levels are taken into account by the mean-field theory. The results for the orbital magnetization of interacting Dirac fermions are compared with that of non-interacting cases.
Ballistic electrons in solids can have mean free paths far larger than the smallest features patterned by lithography. This has allowed development and study of solid-state electron-optical devices such as beam splitters and quantum point contacts, w hich have informed our understanding of electron flow and interactions. Recently, high-mobility graphene has emerged as an ideal two-dimensional semimetal that hosts unique chiral electron-optical effects due to its honeycomb crystalline lattice. However, this chiral transport prevents simple use of electrostatic gates to define electron-optical devices in graphene. Here, we present a method of creating highly-collimated electron beams in graphene based on collinear pairs of slits, with absorptive sidewalls between the slits. By this method, we achieve beams with angular width 18 degrees or narrower, and transmission matching semiclassical predictions.

We derive rigorous bounds on the average momentum occupation numbers $langle n_{mathbf{k}sigma}rangle$ in the Hubbard and Kondo models in the ground state and at non-zero temperature ($T>0$) in the grand canonical ensemble. For the Hubbard model with $T>0$ our bound proves that, when interaction strength $ll k_B Tll$ Fermi energy, $langle n_{mathbf{k}sigma}rangle$ is guaranteed to be close to its value in a low temperature free fermion system. For the Kondo model with any $T>0$ our bound proves that $langle n_{mathbf{k}sigma}rangle$ tends to its non-interacting value in the infinite volume limit. In the ground state case our bounds instead show that $langle n_{mathbf{k}sigma}rangle$ approaches its non-interacting value as $mathbf{k}$ moves away from a certain surface in momentum space. For the Hubbard model at half-filling on a bipartite lattice, this surface coincides with the non-interacting Fermi surface. In the Supplemental Material we extend our results to some generaliz
Quantum point contacts (QPCs) are cornerstones of mesoscopic physics and central building blocks for quantum electronics. Although the Fermi wave-length in high-quality bulk graphene can be tuned up to hundreds of nanometers, the observation of quant um confinement of Dirac electrons in nanostructured graphene systems has proven surprisingly challenging. Here we show ballistic transport and quantized conductance of size-confined Dirac fermions in lithographically-defined graphene constrictions. At high charge carrier densities, the observed conductance agrees excellently with the Landauer theory of ballistic transport without any adjustable parameter. Experimental data and simulations for the evolution of the conductance with magnetic field unambiguously confirm the identification of size quantization in the constriction. Close to the charge neutrality point, bias voltage spectroscopy reveals a renormalized Fermi velocity ($v_F approx 1.5 times 10^6 m/s$) in our graphene constrictions. Moreover, at low carrier density transport measurements allow probing the density of localized states at edges, thus offering a unique handle on edge physics in graphene devices.
