On the isothermal geometry of corrugated graphene sheets (Q501181)

The new method of description of isothermal corrugations of graphen sheets proposed in the paper is based on the notion of the Weyl material space. This theory begins with the observation that the curvature and the lattice thermal fluctuations of graphene sheets are coupled with their stability. The Weyl space admits to define a relationship between its geometry and an isothermal distribution of its effective absolute temperature. The material space is observed in a three-dimensional orthogonal configuration point space as regular surfaces which are endowed with a thermal state vector field fulfilling the isothermal thermal state equation. Properties of the congruence of lines generated by the above mentioned thermal state vector field are discussed.
