condensed matter - How can one localize the massless fermions in Dirac materials?


I noticed that finite electric potential cannot localize the low energy excitations in a graphene sheet. Is it possible to localize the massless fermions in the surface band of topological insulators with a magnetic field?

I found a paper dealing with a similar problem: http://apl.aip.org/resource/1/applab/v98/i16/p162101_s1

classical mechanics - Moment of a force about a given axis (Torque) - Scalar or vectorial?

I am studying Statics and saw that: The moment of a force about a given axis (or Torque) is defined by the equation: $M_X = (\vec r \times \...
