Magnetic Catalysis in Graphene Effective Field Theory

Theory of light-induced effective magnetic field in Rashba ferromagnets

Effective magnetic fields in graphene superlattices.

We demonstrate that the electronic spectrum of graphene in a one-dimensional periodic potential will develop a Landau level spectrum when the potential magnitude varies slowly in space. The effect is related to extra Dirac points generated by the potential whose positions are sensitive to its magnitude. We exploit a chiral symmetry in the Dirac Hamiltonian description with a superlattice potent...

Magnetic field screening and mirroring in graphene.

The orbital magnetism in spatially varying magnetic fields is studied in monolayer graphene within the effective-mass approximation. We find that, unlike the conventional two-dimensional electron system, graphene with a small Fermi wave number kF works as a magnetic shield where the field produced by a magnetic object placed above graphene is always screened by a constant factor on the other si...

Effective Field Theory

Attempts to apply effective field theory (EFT) methods to nonrelativistic nucleon-nucleon (N N) scattering have raised questions about the nature and limitations of an EFT expansion when used nonperturbatively. We discuss the characteristics of a meaningful EFT analysis and compare them with traditional approaches to N N scattering. A key feature of an EFT treatment is a systematic expansion in...
