The breakdown of the law of reflection in bilayer graphene

As long as a wave has a large enough wavelength, it should reflect off of smooth surfaces specularly: that is what the law of reflection states. This phenomenon is widely known, and used in for instance sonars. Electrons that reflect off of boundaries within conductors should abi ...
In this thesis the beta log-gas probability density function is discussed. It is shown that there is a strong link between this density function and Jacobi matrices. A change of variables exercise shows that the distribution of eigenvalues is exactly like the quadratic beta log-g ...
