Recently, the group of Eva Andrei showed that if you apply in-plane strain in graphene, it will reduce the elastic energy forming out-of-plane deformations. This is analogous to applying a periodically modulated magnetic field. https://t.co/8OVNbwEp6m
Alternatively, strain acts just like a valley-dependent magnetic field in graphene, and pseudo-Landau levels appear. Our work was motivated by a recent experiment (https://t.co/8OVNbwEp6m) showing pseudo-Landau levels on a periodically-buckled system, d…

This buckled graphene on niobium diselenide is all eye-of-newt and tongue-of-bat stuff, isn't it? Witchcraft!
