The virial theorem is applied to graphene and other Dirac Materials for systems close to the Dirac points where the dispersion relation is linear. From this, we find the exact form for the total energy given by $E = \mathcal{B}/r_s$ where…

Quantum mechanics with a generalized uncertainty principle arises through a representation of the commutator $[\hat{x}, \hat{p}] = i f(\hat{p})$. We apply this deformed quantization to free scalar field theory for $f_\pm =1\pm \beta p^2$.…
