چکیده
The lowest energy excitations of a quantum Hall ferromagnet are generalized SU(4) spin waves that can be real spin, valley pseudospin waves, or mixed spin-valley (see image). In this paper, the dispersion relations these different spin-wave types investigated based on phase diagram at filling factor $\ensuremath{\nu}=\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1$. three four phases, there one more linearly dispersing modes low energy, due to remaining symmetry in residual anisotropies.

Quantum spin Hall effect in graphene.
We study the effects of spin orbit interactions on the low energy electronic structure of a single plane of graphene. We find that in an experimentally accessible low temperature regime the symmetry allowed spin orbit potential converts graphene from an ideal two-dimensional semimetallic state to a quantum spin Hall insulator. This novel electronic state of matter is gapped in the bulk and supp...
متن کاملElectrical generation and detection of spin waves in a quantum Hall ferromagnet
Spin waves are essential to understanding the intrinsic ordering and thermodynamic properties of magnetic systems. An attractive candidate for studying long-lived spin-wave physics is the quantum Hall (QH) ferromagnet, which forms spontaneously in clean two-dimensional electron systems at low temperature and in a perpendicular magnetic field. However, the charge-neutral nature of these elementa...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Interactions in the Quantum Hall Ferromagnet
The ν = 1 quantum Hall ground state in samples like GaAs is well known to be ferromagnetic. The global SU(2) spin symmetry of the microscopic action is broken down to a U(1) symmetry by the ground state. The Goldstone bosons corresponding to this spontaneous breaking of symmetry are the ferromagnetic magnons which are neutral spin waves. In addition, there are topologically nontrivial, electric...
متن کاملSpin Waves in the Dilute Heisenberg Ferromagnet
The energy of long wave length spin waves in dilute Heisenberg ferromagnets is calculated. It is shown that spin waves can exist only within an infinite cluster of magnetic spins and that such spin waves are mechanically stable. Heuristic arguments based on dimensionality of the infinite cluster imply that there is no thermal instability of the type discussed by Mermin and Wagner. Thus, the cri...
