Dirac has predicted that the $g$ factor of an electron is strictly equal to 2 in the framework of relativistic quantum mechanics. However, later physicists have found that this factor can be slightly deviated from 2 (i.e., the problem of…
Semiclassical spin-coherent kinetic equations can be derived from quantum theory with many different approaches (Liouville equation based approaches, nonequilibrium Green's functions techniques, etc.). The collision integrals turn out to be…
We study the Friedel oscillations induced by a localized impurity in anisotropic graphene. We focus on the limit when the two inequivalent Dirac points merge. We find that in this limit the Friedel oscillations manifest very peculiar…
We explore the longitudinal conductivity of graphene at the Dirac point in a strong magnetic field with two types of short-range scatterers: adatoms that mix the valleys and "scalar" impurities that do not mix them. A scattering theory for…
