Numerical quasiconformal transformations for electron dynamics on strained graphene surfaces
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The dynamics of low-energy electrons in general static strained graphene surface is modelled mathematically by the Dirac equation in curved space-time. In Cartesian coordinates, a parametrization of the surface can be straightforwardly obtained, but the resulting Dirac equation is intricate for general surface deformations. Two different strategies are introduced to simplify this problem: the diagonal metric approximation and the change of variables to isothermal coordinates. These coordinates are obtained from quasiconformal transformations characterized by the Beltrami equation, whose solution gives the mapping between both coordinate systems. To implement this second strategy, a least-squares finite-element numerical scheme is introduced to solve the Beltrami equation. The Dirac equation is then solved via an accurate pseudospectral numerical method in the pseudo-Hermitian representation that is endowed with explicit unitary evolution and conservation of the norm. The two approaches are compared and applied to the scattering of electrons on Gaussian shaped graphene surface deformations. It is demonstrated that electron wave packets can be focused by these local strained regions.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
