Özet

In this paper, a simple method is proposed to get analytical solutions (or with the help of a few numerical calculations) of the Dirac-Weyl equation for low energy electrons in graphene in the presence of certain electric and magnetic fields. In order to decouple the Dirac-Weyl equation we have assumed a displacement symmetry of the system along a direction and some conditions on the magnetic and electric fields. The resulting equations have the natural form to apply the technique of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. The example of an electric well with square profile is worked out in detail to illustrate some of the most interesting features of this procedure.
