Conductivity tensor of striped quantum hall phases
We study the transport properties of pinned striped quantum Hall phases. We show that, under quite general assumptions, the macroscopic conductivity tensor satisfies a semicircle law. In particular, this result is valid for both smectic and nematic stripe phases, independent of the presence of topological and orientational defects such as dislocations and grain boundaries. As a special case, ou...
متن کاملNovel Finite Temperature Conductivity in Quantum Hall Systems
We study quantum Hall systems (mainly the integer case) at finite temperatures and show that there is a novel temperature dependence even for a pure system, thanks to the ‘anomalous’ nature of generators of translation. The deviation of Hall conductivity from its zero temperature value is controlled by a parameter T0 = πρ/m N which is sample specific and hence the universality of quantization i...
متن کاملOn the minimal conductivity of graphene
The minimal conductivity of graphene is a quantity measured in the DC limit. It is shown, using the Kubo formula, that the actual value of the minimal conductivity is sensitive to the order in which certain limits are taken. If the DC limit is taken before the integration over energies is performed, the minimal conductivity of graphene is 4/π (in units of e/h) and it is π/2 in the reverse order...
متن کاملCasimir force at both nonzero temperature and finite conductivity.
We find the combined effect of nonzero temperature and finite conductivity onto the Casimir force between real metals. Configurations of two parallel plates and a sphere (lens) above a plate are considered. Perturbation theory in two parameters (the relative temperature and the relative penetration depth of zero-point oscillations into the metal) is developed. Perturbative results are compared ...
متن کاملQED effective action at finite temperature and density.
The QED effective action at finite temperature and density is calculated to all orders in an external homogeneous and time-independent magnetic field in the weak coupling limit. The free energy, obtained explicitly, exhibit the expected de Haas – van Alphen oscillations. An effective coupling at finite temperature and density is derived in a closed form and is compared with renormalization grou...
