Strain-induced pseudomagnetic field in Dirac semimetal borophene (1607.02530v2)
Published 8 Jul 2016 in cond-mat.mes-hall
Abstract: A tight-binding model of 8-Pmmn borophene, a two-dimensional boron crystal, is developed. We confirm that the crystal hosts massless Dirac fermions and the Dirac points are protected by symmetry. Strain is introduced into the model, and it is shown to induce a pseudomagnetic field vector potential and a scalar potential. The dependence of the potentials on the strain tensor is calculated. The physical effects controlled by pseudomagnetic field are discussed.
