Up to now, such two-component wave functions were calculated for different forms of external potentials, though as a rule depending on only one spatial variable. Here, we shall find analytically the solutions for a wide class of combinations of matrix and scalar external potentials which physically correspond to applied mutually orthogonal magnetic and longitudinal electrostatic fields, both depending really on two spatial variables. The main tool for this progress is provided by supersymmetrical (SUSY) intertwining relations, specifically, by their most general\u2014asymmetrical\u2014form proposed recently by the authors. This SUSY-like method is applied in two steps, similar to the second order factorizable (reducible) SUSY transformations in ordinary quantum mechanics.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/sym16010126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,22]],"date-time":"2024-01-22T03:50:22Z","timestamp":1705895422000},"page":"126","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Solvable Two-Dimensional Dirac Equation with Matrix Potential: Graphene in External Electromagnetic Field"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7910-394X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Mikhail V.","family":"Ioffe","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of High Energy and Elementary Particle Physics, Saint Petersburg State University, St. Petersburg 199034, Russia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"David N.","family":"Nishnianidze","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics, Akaki Tsereteli State University, 4600 Kutaisi, Georgia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"016802","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRevLett.98.016802","article-title":"Quantum dots in graphene","volume":"98","author":"Silvestrov","year":"2007","journal-title":"Phys.
