The remarkable research activities on graphene and related materials have drawn considerable attraction to relativistic effects on quantum transport in mesoscopic and nanoscale systems. The discovery of topological materials including topological insulators and Weyl semimetals have prompt even more attention to the physical effects of special relativity which are known to be very difficult to observe experimentally with elementary particles in high-energy physics. Nevertheless most of the efforts have been focused on the special relativity effects, especially, the effects concerning the linear dispersion of the bands. It should be possible and indeed demanded to observe the general relativity effects such as Unruh effect, which is closely related to the Hawking radiation around black holes.
