Surface States of a System of Dirac Fermions: A Minimal Model
arXiv:1703.03207 · doi:10.1134/S1063776116030213
Abstract
A brief survey is given of theoretical works on surface states (SSs) in Dirac materials. Within the formalism of envelope wave functions and boundary conditions for these functions, a minimal model is formulated that analytically describes surface and edge states of various (topological and non-topological) types in several systems with Dirac fermions (DFs). The applicability conditions of this model are discussed.
