Dirac materials

Dirac materials are a class of substances where the electrons behave as if they are massless particles described by the Dirac equation, similar to high-energy particles in physics. This means their electrons move extremely fast with a linear energy-momentum relationship, resulting in unique electronic properties like high conductivity, special quantum effects, and resilience to disruptions. Graphene is a well-known example, featuring electrons that act like relativistic particles. These materials are important for advancing next-generation electronics, quantum computing, and advanced sensing technologies due to their remarkable electronic behavior.
