I am reading about the electron flow in graphene and the article said this
"This behavior is not described by the traditional mathematics (Schrodinger equation) but by the mass-less Dirac equation"
What does this mean and what is the massless Dirac equation...
the whole paragraph is this...if it helps:
"Electrons flowing through the special structure of graphene (hexagons in a one atom thick layer) behave like electrons traveling in a vacuum close to the speed of light. This behavior is not described by the traditional mathematics (Schrodinger equation) but by the mass-less Dirac equation"
"This behavior is not described by the traditional mathematics (Schrodinger equation) but by the mass-less Dirac equation"
