We show that the low-energy electronic structure of graphene under a one-dimensional inhomogeneous magnetic field can be mapped into that of graphene under an electric field or vice versa. As a direct application of this transformation, we…
We investigate the minimum conductivity of graphene within a quasiclassical approach taking into account electron-hole coherence effects which stem from the chiral nature of low energy excitations. Relying on an analytical solution of the…

A possible realization of Hall conductivity, quantized at odd integer factors of $e^2/h$ for graphene's honeycomb lattice is proposed. I argue that, in the presence of \emph{uniform} real and pseudo-magnetic fields, the valley degeneracy…
