Dirac equation in curved spacetime: the role of local Fermi velocity

Abstract

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 cylindrical geometry is also provided, together with a discussion of related physical effects and observable properties.
