Abstract
The energy spectrum and local current patterns in graphene quantum dots
(QD) are investigated for different geometries in the presence of an
external perpendicular magnetic field. Our results demonstrate that, for
specific geometries and edge configurations, the QD exhibits vortex and
anti-vortex patterns in the local current density, in close analogy to
the vortex patterns observed in the probability density current of
semiconductor QD, as well as in the order parameter of mesoscopic
superconductors.
