The Fock-Darwin States of Dirac Electrons in Graphene-based Artificial Atoms

Abstract

We have investigated the Fock-Darwin states of the massless chiral fermions confined in a graphitic parabolic quantum dot. In the light of the Klein tunneling, we have analyzed the condition for confinement of the Dirac fermions in a cylindrically-symmetric potential. New features of the energy levels of the Dirac electrons as compared to the conventional electronic systems are dicussed. We have also evaluated the dipole-allowed transitions in the energy levels of the dots. We propose that in the high magnetic field limit, the band parameters can be accurately determined from the dipole-allowed transitions.
