By mechanically distorting a crystal lattice it is possible to engineer the electronic and optical properties of a material. In graphene, one of the major effects of such a distortion is an energy shift of the Dirac point, often described…

Nonuniform elastic strain is known to induce pseudo-Landau levels in Dirac materials. But these pseudo-Landau levels are hardly resolvable in an analytic fashion when the strain is strong, because of the emerging complicated space…
