TL;DR: It is shown that a signature of the pseudomagnetic field is a local sublattice symmetry breaking observable as a redistribution of the local density of states in graphene, which can be interpreted as a polarization of graphene's pseudospin due to a strain induced pseudom magnetic field.

TL;DR: Using the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope, a confining potential is induced in the Landau gaps of bulk graphene without the need for physical edges to create quantum dots with well-defined wave function properties beyond the reach of traditional techniques.

TL;DR: In this paper, van der Waals stacking of graphene onto hexagonal boron nitride offers a natural platform for valley control, and the valley splitting can be controlled through a quantum dot induced by a scanning tunnelling microscope.

TL;DR: Altered emotion processing in Parkinson's disease is specific to male patients, and this finding may impact the diagnosis and treatment of emerging clinical features.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a detailed summary of the study of squared wave functions of graphene quantum dots on metal substrates, and present data where the Landau level gaps caused by a perpendicular magnetic field are used to electrostatically confine electrons in monolayer graphene, which are probed by the Coulomb staircase revealing the consecutive charging of a quantum dot.
