Interaction-Induced Topological Insulator States in Strained Graphene
Interaction-Induced Topological Insulator States in Strained Graphene
The electronic properties of graphene can be manipulated via mechanical deformations, which opens prospects for both studying the Dirac fermions in new regimes and for new device applications. Certain natural configurations of strain generate large nearly uniform pseudomagnetic fields, which have opposite signs in the two valleys, and give rise …
