This is a continuation of the authors' previous work (A. Kirsch, Math. Meth. Appl. Sci., 45 (2022): 5737-5773.) on well-posedness of time-harmonic scattering by locally perturbed periodic curves of Dirichlet kind. The scattering interface…
We construct and solve a two-dimensional, chirally symmetric model of Dirac cones subjected to a quasiperiodic modulation. In real space, this is realized with a quasiperiodic hopping term. This hopping model, as we show, at the Dirac node…
