摘要
We calculate the energy spectrum and eigenstates of a graphene sheet that contains a circular deformation. Using time-independent perturbation theory with the ratio of the height and width of the deformation as the small parameter, we find that due to the curvature the wave functions for the various states acquire unique angular asymmetry. We demonstrate that the pseudomagnetic fields induced by the curvature result in circulating probability currents.
