Symmetry of boundary conditions of the Dirac equation for electrons in carbon nanotubes
We consider the effective mass model of spinless electrons in single wall carbon nanotubes that is equivalent to the Dirac equation for massless fermions. Within this framework we derive all possible energy independent hard wall boundary conditions that are applicable to metallic tubes. The boundary conditions are classified in terms of their symmetry properties and we demonstrate that the use ...
متن کاملBoundary Conditions as Dirac Constraints
In this article we show that boundary conditions can be treated as Lagrangian and Hamiltonian primary constraints. Using the Dirac method, we find that boundary conditions are equivalent to an infinite chain of second class constraints which is a new feature in the context of constrained systems. We discuss the Dirac brackets and the reduced phase space structure for different boundary conditio...
متن کاملVirial theorem for an inhomogeneous medium, boundary conditions for the wave functions, and stress tensor in quantum statistics.
On the basis of the stationary Schrödinger equation, the virial theorem in an inhomogeneous external field for the canonical ensemble is proved. It is shown that the difference in the form of virial theorem is conditioned by the value of the wave-function derivative on the surface of the volume, surrounding the system under consideration. The stress tensor in such a system is determined by the ...
متن کاملNon - Local Boundary Conditions for Massless Spin - 12 Fields
This paper studies the 1-loop approximation for a massless spin-1/2 field on a flat four-dimensional Euclidean background bounded by two concentric 3-spheres, when non-local boundary conditions of the spectral type are imposed. The use of ζ-function regularization shows that the conformal anomaly vanishes, as in the case when the same field is subject to local boundary conditions involving proj...
متن کاملSpectral Boundary Conditions for Generalizations of Laplace and Dirac Operators
Spectral boundary conditions for Laplace-type operators on a compact manifold X with boundary are partly Dirichlet, partly (oblique) Neumann conditions, where the partitioning is provided by a pseudodifferential projection; they have an interest in string and brane theory. Relying on pseudodifferential methods, we give sufficient conditions for the existence of the associated resolvent and heat...
