Optical deformations in graphene — •Reena Gupta and Sam Shallcross — Theoretische Festkörperphysik, FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Staudtstrasse 7/B2, 91058 Erlangen, Germany

Deformations in graphene slow on the scale of the lattice constant are, at lowest order, very well described by the addition of a pseudo-magnetic gauge field to the Dirac-Weyl equation [1]. Here we explore what happens when we consider slow deformations but of both possible modes that the two-atom unit cell allows, i.e., optical as well as acoustic modes. While the acoustic mode simply reproduces the well-known pseudo-magnetic gauge field, the optical mode generates both a chiral field as well as an imaginary magnetic gauge, with Hermiticity of the Hamiltonian maintained by a position dependent velocity correction. We comment on the relevance of these results to hybrid metal/graphene systems which feature strong deformation.
