The Hawking-Unruh phenomenon on graphene

arXiv:1108.2340 · doi:10.1016/j.physletb.2012.08.023

Abstract

We find that, for a very specific shape of a monolayer graphene sample, a general relativistic-like description of a back-ground spacetime for graphene's conductivity electrons is very natural. The corresponding electronic local density of states is of finite temperature. This is a Hawking-Unruh effect that we propose to detect through an experiment with a Scanning Tunneling Microscope.
