We investigate the electrostatic confinement of charge carriers in a gapped graphene quantum dot in the presence of a magnetic flux. The circular quantum dot is defined by an electrostatic gate potential delimited in an infinite graphene sheet which is then connected to a two terminal setup. Considering different regions composing our system, we explicitly determine the solutions of the energy spectrum in terms of Hankel functions. Using the scattering matrix together with the asymptotic behavior of the Hankel functions for large arguments, we calculate the density of states and show that it has an oscillatory behavior with the appearance of resonant peaks. It is found that the energy gap can controls the amplitude and width of these resonances and affect their location in the density of states profile.

We compare the conductance of an undoped graphene sheet with a small region subject to an electrostatic gate potential for the cases that the dynamics in the gated region is regular (disc-shaped region) and classically chaotic (stadium). For the disc
, we find sharp resonances that narrow upon reducing the area fraction of the gated region. We relate this observation to the existence of confined electronic states. For the stadium, the conductance looses its dependence on the gate voltage upon reducing the area fraction of the gated region, which signals the lack of confinement of Dirac quasiparticles in a gated region with chaotic classical electron dynamics.
We study a gapped graphene monolayer in a combination of uniform magnetic field and strain-induced uniform pseudomagnetic field. The presence of two fields completely removes the valley degeneracy. The resulting density of states shows a complicated
behaviour that can be tuned by adjusting the strength of the fields. We analyze how these features can be observed in the sublattice, valley and full density of states. The analytical expression for the valley DOS is derived.
We calculate the average single particle density of states in graphene with disorder due to impurity potentials. For unscreened short-ranged impurities, we use the non-self-consistent and self-consistent Born and $T$-matrix approximations to obtain t
he self-energy. Among these, only the self-consistent $T$-matrix approximation gives a non-zero density of states at the Dirac point. The density of states at the Dirac point is non-analytic in the impurity potential. For screened short-ranged and charged long-range impurity potentials, the density of states near the Dirac point typically increases in the presence of impurities, compared to that of the pure system.
We study two lattice models, the honeycomb lattice (HCL) and a special square lattice (SQL), both reducing to the Dirac equation in the continuum limit. In the presence of disorder (gaussian potential disorder and random vector potential), we investi
gate the behaviour of the density of states (DOS) numerically and analytically. While an upper bound can be derived for the DOS on the SQL at the Dirac point, which is also confirmed by numerical calculations, no such upper limit exists for the HCL in the presence of random vector potential. A careful investigation of the lowest eigenvalues indeed indicate, that the DOS can possibly be divergent at the Dirac point on the HCL. In spite of sharing a common continuum limit, these lattice models exhibit different behaviour.
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.
