This review presents the state of the art in strain and ripple-induced effects on the electronic
and optical properties of graphene. It starts by providing the crystallographic description of …

The analysis of the electronic properties of strained or lattice deformed graphene combines
ideas from classical condensed matter physics, soft matter, and geometrical aspects of …

Twisted van der Waals heterostructures are known to induce surprisingly diverse and
intriguing phenomena, such as correlated electronic phase and unconventional optical …

The relevance of the strain-induced Dirac point shift to obtain the appropriate anisotropic
Fermi velocity of strained graphene is demonstrated. Then a critical revision of the available …

Deformations in graphene systems are central elements in the novel field of straintronics.
Various strain geometries have been proposed to produce specific properties, but their …

Pseudomagnetic fields, which can result from nonuniform strain distributions, have received
much attention in graphene systems due to the possibility of mimicking real magnetic fields …

The electrons found in Dirac materials are notorious for being difficult to manipulate due to
the Klein phenomenon and absence of backscattering. Here we investigate how spatial …

In addition to the known pseudomagnetic field, nonuniform strains independently induce a
position-dependent Fermi velocity (PDFV) in graphene. Here we demonstrate that, due to …

We present a new approach to study the one-dimensional Dirac equation in the background
of a position-dependent mass m. Taking the Fermi velocity vf to be a local variable, we …

We study the motion of charge carriers in curved Dirac materials, in the presence of a local
Fermi velocity. An explicit parameterization of the latter emerging quantity for a nanoscroll …
