The magnetic response of irreversible type-II superconductor slabs subjected to in-plane rotating magnetic field is investigated by applying the circular, elliptic, extended-elliptic, and rectangular flux-line-cutting critical-state models.…

We propose that the strain induced effective pseudo-magnetic field in graphene can also be explained by a curl movement of the Dirac points, if the Dirac points can be regarded as a slowly varying function of position. We also prove that…
