The phenomenon in physics known as “Floquet states”, which have now been observed in graphene for the first time, as envisaged by artist Lina Segerer. This image “Dirac Cones I” explores the concept of Floquet states in graphene generated by light pulses. The painting shows the three-dimensional electronic structure of graphene – known as Dirac cones – and their replicas created by light.
