1305.4652 (R. R. Hartmann et al.)

Confinement of graphene electrons in the hyperbolic secant potential    [PDF]

R. R. Hartmann, M. E. Portnoi
We present exact analytical solutions for the bound modes of two-dimensional massless Dirac fermions confined within a hyperbolic secant potential, which provides a good fit for potential profiles of existing top-gated graphene structures. We show that bound states of both positive and negative energies exist in the energy spectrum and that there is a threshold value of the characteristic potential strength for which the first mode appears.
