Surface States of a System of Dirac Fermions: A Minimal Model

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2017-03-10 v1

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.
