Abstract
The paper considers a model of a quantum well on the basis of graphene on a substrate generating a mass gap. The analyzed situation is when there is a defect in the substrate structure, and the graphene structure remains ideal. Such a defect provides spatial inhomogeneity of the mass gap. The paper shows that the inhomogeneity of the mass gap leads to the appearance of a quantum well for both electron and hole excitations. Based on the two-dimensional Dirac field model, localized electron and hole states are investigated, their energy spectrum and wavefunctions are obtained. Various quantum wells obtained on the basis of inhomogeneities of different sizes and shapes are studied. A nontrivial dependence of localized states energy spectrum on the well parameters is shown.
