▎ 摘  要

In inhomogeneously strained graphene, low-energy electrons experience a valley-antisymmetric pseudomagnetic field which leads to the formation of localized states at the edge between the valence and conduction bands, understood in terms of peculiar n = 0 pseudomagnetic Landau levels. Here we show that such states can manifest themselves as an isolated quadruplet of low-energy conductance resonances in a suspended stretched graphene ribbon, where clamping by the metallic contacts results in a strong inhomogeneity of strain near the ribbon ends.
