On the density of states of circular graphene quantum dots

arXiv:1705.01035 · doi:10.1088/1361-648X/aa7efd

Abstract

We suggest a simple approach to calculate the local density of states that effectively applies to any structure created by an axially symmetric potential on a continuous graphene sheet such as circular graphene quantum dots or rings. Calculations performed for the graphene quantum dot studied in a recent scanning tunneling microscopy measurement [{\sl Gutierrez et al. Nat. Phys. \textbf{12}, 1069--1075 (2016)}] show an excellent experimental-theoretical agreement.
