We show how the two-dimensional Dirac oscillator model can describe some properties of electrons in graphene. This model explains the origin of the left-handed chirality observed for charge carriers in monolayer and bilayer graphene. The relativistic dispersion relation observed for monolayer graphene is obtained directly from the energy spectrum, while the parabolic dispersion relation observed for the case of bilayer graphene is obtained in the non-relativistic limit. Additionally, if an external magnetic field is applied, the unusual Landau-level spectrum for monolayer graphene is obtained, but for bilayer graphene the model predicts the existence of a magnetic field-dependent gap. Finally, this model also leads to the existence of a chiral phase transition.

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 the first experimental microwave realization of the one-dimensional Dirac oscillator, a paradigm in exactly solvable relativistic systems. The experiment relies on a relation of the Dirac oscillator to a corresponding tight-binding system.
This tight-binding system is implemented as a microwave system by a chain of coupled dielectric disks, where the coupling is evanescent and can be adjusted appropriately. The resonances of the finite microwave system yields the spectrum of the one-dimensional Dirac oscillator with and without mass term. The flexibility of the experimental set-up allows the implementation of other one-dimensional Dirac type equations.
It is well-known that the tight-binding Hamiltonian of graphene describes the low-energy excitations that appear to be massless chiral Dirac fermions. Thus, in the continuum limit one can analyze the crystal properties using the formalism of quantum
electrodynamics in 2+1 dimensions (QED2+1) which provides the opportunity to verify the high energy physics phenomena in the condensed matter system. We study the symmetry properties of 2+1-dimensional Dirac equation, both in the non-interacting case and in the case with constant uniform magnetic field included in the model. The maximal symmetry group of the massless Dirac equation is considered by putting it in the Jordan block form and determining the algebra of operators leaving invariant the subspace of solutions. It is shown that the resulting symmetry operators expressed in terms of Dirac matrices cannot be described exclusively in terms of gamma matrices (and their products) entering the corresponding Dirac equation. It is a consequence of the reducibility of the considered representation in contrast to the 3+1-dimensional case. Symmetry algebra is demonstrated to be a direct sum of two gl(2,C) algebras plus an eight-dimensional abelian ideal. Since the matrix structure which determines the rotational symmetry has all required properties of the spin algebra, the pseudospin related to the sublattices (M. Mecklenburg and B. C. Regan, Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 116803 (2011)) gains the character of the real angular momentum, although the degrees of freedom connected with the electrons spin are not included in the model. This seems to be graphenes analogue of the phenomenon called spin from isospin in high energy physics.
We theoretically investigate the quantum reflection of different atoms by two-dimensional (2D) materials of the graphene family (silicene, germanene, and stanene), subjected to an external electric field and circularly polarized light. By using Lifsh
itz theory to compute the Casimir-Polder potential, which ensures that our predictions apply to all regimes of atom-2D surface distances, we demonstrate that the quantum reflection probability exhibits distinctive, unambiguous signatures of topological phase transitions that occur in 2D materials. We also show that the quantum reflection probability can be highly tunable by these external agents, depending on the atom-surface combination, reaching a variation of 40% for Rubidium in the presence of a stanene sheet. Our findings attest that not only dispersive forces play a crucial role in quantum reflection, but also that the topological phase transitions of the graphene family materials can be comprehensively and efficiently probed via atom-surface interactions at the nanoscale.
We consider confinement of Dirac fermions in $AB$-stacked bilayer graphene by inhomogeneous on-site interactions, (pseudo-)magnetic field or inter-layer interaction. Working within the framework of four-band approximation, we focus on the systems whe
re the stationary equation is reducible into two stationary equations with $2times2$ Dirac-type Hamiltonians and auxiliary interactions. We show that it is possible to find localized states by solving an effective Schrodinger equation with energy-dependent potential. We consider several scenarios where bilayer graphene is subject to inhomogneous (pseudo-)magnetic field, on-site interactions or inter-layer coupling. In explicit examples, we provide analytical solutions for the states localized by local fluctuations or periodicity defects of the interactions.
