hi,
I was reading an article about graphene and I came across some concepts I am not familiar with. I was just wondering if someone could help me understand them:
The article says that charge carriers in graphene are massless fermions that are described with a Dirac-like equation rather than Schrodinger equation. The bilayer graphene are, on the other hand, massive Dirac fermions. Can someone comment on what it all means (in terms of the material properties, etc)? Why is it important?
Thanks a lot.
