Description
Lattice deformations couple to electrons in graphene by
giving rise to an effective gauge field[1,2]. This unique
feature leads to the possibility of modifying the electronic
properties by applying strain to the lattice[3,4]. The main
properties of the interaction between electrons and long
wavelength lattice deformations will be reviewed.
