▎ 摘  要

The low-energy electronic properties of strained graphene are usually obtained by transforming the bond vectors according to the Cauchy-Born rule. In this work, we derive a new effective Dirac Hamiltonian by assuming a more general transformation rule for the bond vectors under uniform strain, which takes into account the strain-induced relative displacement between the two sublattices of graphene. Our analytical results show that the consideration of such relative displacement yields a qualitatively different Fermi velocity with respect to previous reports. Furthermore, from the derived Hamiltonian, we analyze effects of this relative displacement on the local density of states and the optical conductivity, as well as the implications on the scanning tunneling spectroscopy, including external magnetic field, and optical transmittance experiments of strained graphene.
