• Abstract: We investigate the electrostatic confinement of charge carriers in a gapped graphene quantum dot in the presence of a magnetic flux. The circular quantum dot is defined by an electrostatic gate potential delimited in an infinite graphene sheet which is then connected to a two terminal setup. Considering different regions composing our system, we explicitly determine the solutions of the energy spectrum in terms of Hankel functions. Using the scattering matrix together with the asymptotic behavior of the Hankel functions for large arguments, we calculate the density of states and show that it has an oscillatory behavior with the appearance of resonant peaks. It is found that the energy gap can controls the amplitude and width of these resonances and affect their location in the density of states profile.

  Superconductivity and charge density waves are observed in close vicinity in strongly correlated materials. We investigate the nature of such an intertwined state of matter stabilized in the phase diagram of the elementary $t$-$tprime$-$U$ Hubbard model. We provide conclusive evidence that the macroscopic wave functions of the superconducting fragments are well-described by soliton solutions of a Ginzburg-Landau equation.
