Certain non-uniform strain applied to graphene flakes has been shown to induce pseudo-Landau levels in the single-particle spectrum, which can be rationalized in terms of a pseudo-magnetic field for electrons near the Dirac points. However,…

We study the Haldane model under strain using a tight-binding approach, and compare the obtained results with the continuum-limit approximation. As in graphene, nonuniform strain leads to a time-reversal preserving pseudo-magnetic field…
In inhomogeneously strained graphene, low-energy electrons experience a valley-antisymmetric pseudo-magnetic field which leads to the formation of localized states at the edge between the valence and conduction bands, understood in terms of…
