Correlations in lowest-Landau-level vortex states

Langevin vortex dynamics for a layered superconductor in the lowest-Landau-level approximation

We have numerically investigated the dynamics of vortices in a clean layered superconductor placed in a perpendicular magnetic field. We describe the energetics using a Ginzburg-Landau free-energy functional in the lowest-Landau-level approximation. The dynamics are determined using the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau approximation, and thermal fluctuations are incorporated via a Langevin term. ...

Anyons and Lowest Landau Level Anyons

Intermediate statistics interpolating from Bose statistics to Fermi statistics are allowed in two dimensions. This is due to the particular topology of the two dimensional configuration space of identical particles, leading to non trivial braiding of particles around each other. One arrives at quantum many-body states with a multivalued phase factor, which encodes the anyonic nature of particle...

Landau Level Mixing and Solenoidal Terms in Lowest Landau Level Currents

We calculate the lowest Landau level (LLL) current by working in the full Hilbert space of a two dimensional electron system in a magnetic field and keeping all the non-vanishing terms in the high field limit. The answer a) is not represented by a simple LLL operator and b) differs from the current operator, recently derived by Martinez and Stone in a field theoretic LLL formalism, by solenoida...

Interacting electrons in graphene nanoribbons in the lowest Landau level

Why the lowest Landau level approximation works in strongly type

Higher than the lowest Landau level contributions to magnetization and specific heat of superconductors are calculated using Ginzburg Landau equations approach. Corrections to the excitation spectrum around solution of these equations (treated perturbatively) are found. Due to symmetries of the problem leading to numerous cancellations the range of validity of the LLL approximation in mean fiel...
