We argue that a scalar field in de Sitter spacetime should feel explicit thermal effects associated with its curvature. Starting from the Bunch-Davies vacuum and a scalar field with small mass compared to the de Sitter curvature, we use the…

In an ideal graphene sheet charge carriers behave as two-dimensional (2D) Dirac fermions governed by the quantum mechanics of massless relativistic particles. This has been confirmed by the discovery of a half-integer quantum Hall effect in…
