Pinned bilayer Wigner crystals with pseudospin magnetism
We study a model of pinned bilayer Wigner crystals WC and focus on the effects of interlayer coherence IC on pinning. We consider both a pseudospin ferromagnetic WC FMWC with IC and a pseudospin antiferromagnetic WC AFMWC without IC. Our central finding is that a FMWC can be pinned more strongly due to the presence of IC. One specific mechanism is through the disorder induced interlayer tunneli...

متن کاملExcited-state Wigner crystals.
Wigner crystals (WCs) are electronic phases peculiar to low-density systems, particularly in the uniform electron gas. Since its introduction in the early twentieth century, this model has remained essential to many aspects of electronic structure theory and condensed-matter physics. Although the (lowest-energy) ground-state WC (GSWC) has been thoroughly studied, the properties of excited-state...
متن کاملPseudospin valve in bilayer graphene: towards graphene-based pseudospintronics.
We propose a nonmagnetic, pseudospin-based version of a spin valve, in which the pseudospin polarization in neighboring regions of a graphene bilayer is controlled by external gates. Numerical calculations demonstrate a large on-off ratio of such a device. This finding holds promise for the realization of pseudospintronics: a form of electronics based upon the manipulation of pseudospin analogo...
متن کاملPiezoelectric mechanism for the orientational pinning of bilayer Wigner crystals and stripes in a GaAs matrix
We investigate the phonon mechanism for the orientational pinning of Wigner crystals and stripes in two-dimensional electron layers in GaAs matrices. We find the orientation of bilayer Wigner crystals on the (001), (111), (01̄1) and (311) interfaces versus the interlayer distance and determine the regions of parameters, where polydomain structures can emerge. For the stripe states in electron la...
