We consider the two-dimensional Dirac operator with Lorentz-scalar $\delta$-shell interactions on each edge of a star-graph. An orthogonal decomposition is performed which shows such an operator is unitarily equivalent to an orthogonal sum…

It is shown that systems described by Harper's equation exhibit a Dirac point at the center of the spectrum whenever the field parameter is a fraction of even denominator. The Dirac point is formed by the touching of two subbands, and the…
We use Boltzmann theory to study the semi-classical dynamics of electrons in a two-dimensional (2D) tilted Dirac material in which the tilt varies in space. The spatial variation of the tilt parameter induces a non-trivial spacetime…

Odd numbers of Dirac points and helical states can exist at edges (surfaces) of two-dimensional (three-dimensional) topological insulators. In the bulk of a one-dimensional lattice (not an edge) with time reversal symmetry, however, a no-go…
We have calculated the dynamical polarization, plasmons and damping rates in semi-Dirac bands (SDB's) with zero band gap and half-linear, half-parabolic low-energy spectrum. The obtained plasmon dispersions are strongly anisotropic and…
Communication between single cells or higher organisms by means of diffusive compounds is an important phenomenon in biological systems. Modelling therefore often occurs, most straightforwardly by a diffusion equation with suitable flux…
Dirac points (DP) in Hermitian systems play a key role in topological phenomena. Their existence in non-Hermitian systems is then desirable, but the addition of loss or gain transforms DPs into pairs of Exceptional Points (EPs) joined by a…
We study the low-energy electronic transport across periodic extended defects in graphene. In the continuum low-energy limit, such defects act as infinitesimally thin stripes separating two regions where Dirac Hamiltonian governs the…
We study the collective charge-density modes (plasmons) of two-dimensional nonsymmorphic Dirac semimetals, within the random-phase approximation (RPA) in presence of Coulomb interaction. Without loss of generality, we consider a system in a…
