Pseudo-magnetic catalysis of the time-reversal symmetry breaking in graphene
arXiv:0804.3594 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.78.205433
Abstract
Finite flux of the (time-reversal-symmetric) pseudo-magnetic field, which represents the effect of wrinkling of the graphene sheet for example, is shown to be a catalyst for spontaneous breaking of the time-reversal symmetry of Dirac fermions in two dimensions. Possible experimental consequences of this effect for graphene are discussed.
