A tutorial on the WKB approximation for innovative Dirac materials : graphene and beyond / Andrii Iurov.

This textbook serves to supplement existing quantum mechanics courses with the WKB (Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin) theory for recently discovered Dirac materials, such as graphene, a dice lattice, and alpha-T3 materials. This includes finding the semiclassical wave function, coordinate-dependent momentu...
