| Abstract: | In graphene,conductance electrons behave as massless relativistic particles and obey an analogue of the Dirac equation in two dimensions with a chiral nature.For this reason,the bounding of electrons in graphene in the form of geometries of quantum dots is impossible.In gapless graphene,due to its unique electronic band structure,there is a minimal conductivity at Dirac points,that is,in the limit of zero doping.This creates a problem for using such a highly motivated new material in electronic devices.One of the ways to overcome this problem is the creation of a band gap in the graphene band structure,which is made by inversion symmetry breaking(symmetry of sublattices).We investigate the confined states of the massless Dirac fermions in an impured graphene by the short-range perturbations for "local chemical potential" and "local gap".The calculated energy spectrum exhibits quite different features with and without the perturbations.A characteristic equation for bound states(BSs) has been obtained.It is surprisingly found that the relation between the radial functions of sublattices wave functions,i.e.,f_m~+(r),g_m~+(r),and f_m~-(r),g_m~-(r),can be established by SO(2) group. |
