Particularly relevant examples where these cones arise are topological insulators and graphene. From a fundamental perspective, this thesis proposes schemes towards modifying basic properties of these cones in the aforementioned materials. The thesis begins with a brief historical introduction which is followed by an extensive chapter that endows the reader with the basic tools of symmetry and topology needed to understand the remaining text. The subsequent four chapters are devoted to the reshaping of Dirac cones by external fields and delta doping. At all times, the ideas discussed in the second chapter are always a guiding principle to understand the phenomena discussed in those four chapters. As a result, the thesis is cohesive and represents a major advance in our understanding of the physics of Dirac materials.Springer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,2190-5061Condensed matterTopological insulatorsSurfaces (Technology)Thin filmsMaterials scienceData processingElectronic structureQuantum chemistryComputer programsQuantum physicsCondensed Matter PhysicsTopological MaterialSurfaces, Interfaces and Thin FilmElectronic Structure CalculationsQuantum PhysicsCondensed matter.Topological insulators.Surfaces (Technology).Thin films.Materials scienceData processing.Electronic structure.Quantum chemistryComputer programs.Quantum physics.Condensed Matter Physics.Topological Material.Surfaces, Interfaces and Thin Film.Electronic Structure Calculations.Quantum Physics.530.41Fernández Díaz Álvaro1885299MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910483716403321Reshaping of Dirac Cones in Topological Insulators and Graphene4520491UNINA
