Electron supercollimation, in which a wavepacket is guided to move undistorted along a selected direction, is a highly desirable property that has yet been realized experimentally. Disorder in general is expected to inhibit…

We show analytically that the ability of Dirac materials to localize an electron in both a barrier and a well can be utilized to open a pseudo-gap in graphene's spectrum. By using narrow top-gates as guiding potentials, we demonstrate that…

A class of graphene wound into three-dimensional periodic curved surfaces ("graphitic zeolites") is proposed and their electronic structures are obtained to explore how the massless Dirac fermions behave on periodic surfaces. We find in the…

Optical field interacting with a topologically protected one-dimensional helical state is shown to support a one-dimensional plasmon-polariton that is characterized by a non-linear dispersion. In a two-dimensional Dirac magnet these…

We study the scattering of the Dirac electrons by a point-like nonmagnetic impurity on the surface of a topological insulator, driven by a time-periodic gate voltage. It is found that, due to the doublet degenerate crossing points of…

The recent developments in the emerging field of plasmonics in graphene and other Dirac systems are reviewed and a comprehensive introduction to the standard models and techniques is given. In particular, we discuss intrinsic plasmon…

We review different scenarios for the motion and merging of Dirac points in two dimensional crystals. These different types of merging can be classified according to a winding number (a topological Berry phase) attached to each Dirac point.…

The inelastic scattering and conversion process between photons and phonons by laser-driven quantum dots is analyzed for a honeycomb array of optomechanical cells. Using Floquet theory for an effective two-level system, we solve the related…

Exact stationary solutions of the electron-photon Dirac equation are obtained to describe the strong interaction between massless Dirac fermions in graphene and circularly polarized photons. It follows from them that this interaction forms…

The breaking of time-reversal symmetry is a crucial ingredient to topological bands. It can occur intrisically in materials with magnetic order, or be induced by external fields, such as magnetic fields in quantum Hall systems, or…

Three dimensional (3D) topological insulators are quantum materials with a spin-orbit induced bulk insulating gap that exhibit quantum-Hall-like phenomena in the absence of applied magnetic fields. The proposed applications of topological…

Pumping graphene with circularly polarized light is the archetype of light-tailoring topological bands. Realizing the induced Floquet-Chern insulator state and tracing clear experimental manifestions has been a challenge, and it has become…

We report on the effects of laser illumination on the electronic properties of bilayer graphene. By using Floquet theory combined with Green's functions we unveil the appeareance of laser-induced gaps not only at integer multiples of $\hbar…

Topological semimetals with nodal line are a novel class of topological matter extending the concept of topological matter beyond topological insulators and Weyl/Dirac semimetals. Here, we show that a Floquet topological semimetal with…

We combined periodic ripples and electrostatic potentials to form curved graphene superlattices and studied the effects of space-dependent Fermi velocity induced from curvature on their electronic properties. With equal periods and…

The tunneling effect of two-dimensional Dirac fermions in a constant magnetic field is studied. This can be done by using the continuity equation at some points to determine the corresponding reflexion and transmission coefficients. For…

We consider a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of metallic nanoparticles, each supporting a localized surface plasmon, and study the quantum properties of the collective plasmons resulting from the near field dipolar interaction between…

We introduce the concept of Floquet topological magnons --- a mechanism by which a synthetic tunable Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) can be generated in quantum magnets using circularly polarized electric (laser) field. The…

After the discovery of graphene and its many fascinating properties, there has been a growing interest for the study of "artificial graphenes". These are totally different and novel systems which bear exciting similarities with graphene.…

Transmission of Dirac fermions through a chip of graphene under the effect of magnetic field and a time vibrating double barrier with frequency $w$ is investigated. Quantum interference within the oscillating barrier has an important effect…
