The motion of a relativistic particle is linked to its spin by the Dirac equation. Remarkably, electrons in two-dimensional materials can mimic such Dirac particles but must always appear in pairs of opposite spin chirality. Using…

The wave spin of an electron can be fully characterized by the current density calculated from the exact four-spinor solution of the Dirac equation. In the excited states of the electron in a magnetic field-free quantum well, the current…

The Dirac equation describes the motion of electrons in electromagnetic field, but it considers spin as intrinsic property without any real motion. We postulate spin as the intrinsic feature of vacuum, in which the incident electromagnetic…

The index theorems relate the gauge field and metric on a manifold to the solution of the Dirac equation on it. In the standard approach, the Dirac operator must be massless in order to make the chirality operator well-defined. In physics,…
