Dynamical symmetry breaking, magnetization and induced charge in graphene: Interplay between magnetic and pseudomagnetic fields
J. A. Sánchez-Monroy,
C. J. Quimbay
Abstract:In this paper, we investigate the two competing effects of strains and magnetic fields in single-layer graphene with the aim to explore its impact in various phenomena of quantum field theory, such as induced charge density, magnetic catalysis, symmetry breaking, dynamical mass generation, and magnetization. We show that real and strain-induced pseudomagnetic fields are the catalysts of dynamical chiral, time-reversal and parity symmetry breaking, where the last two symmetry breakings are related to the dynami… Show more
