Quantum anomalous Hall effect with higher plateaus.
The quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect in magnetic topological insulators is driven by the combination of spontaneous magnetic moments and spin-orbit coupling. Its recent experimental discovery raises the question if higher plateaus can also be realized. Here, we present a general theory for a QAH effect with higher Chern numbers and show by first-principles calculations that a thin film magne...
متن کاملMode locking in quantum-Hall-effect point contacts.
We study the effect of an ac drive on the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of a tunnel junction between two fractional quantum Hall fluids at filling n an odd integer. Within the chiral Luttinger-liquid model of edge states, the point-contact dynamics is described by a driven damped quantum mechanical pendulum. In a semiclassical limit which ignores electron tunneling, this model exhibits ...
متن کاملObservation of the Zero Hall Plateau in a Quantum Anomalous Hall Insulator.
We report experimental investigations on the quantum phase transition between the two opposite Hall plateaus of a quantum anomalous Hall insulator. We observe a well-defined plateau with zero Hall conductivity over a range of magnetic field around coercivity when the magnetization reverses. The features of the zero Hall plateau are shown to be closely related to that of the quantum anomalous Ha...
متن کاملGraphene in the Quantum Hall Regime: Effects of Vacancies, Sublattice Polarization and Disorder
We investigate the effects of vacancies, disorder and sublattice polarization on the electronic properties of a monolayer graphene in the quantum Hall regime. Energy spectra as a function of magnetic field and the localization properties of the states within the graphene Landau levels (LLs) are calculated through a tight-binding model. We first discuss our results considering vacancies in the l...
متن کاملGiant quantum Hall plateaus generated by charge transfer in epitaxial graphene
Epitaxial graphene has proven itself to be the best candidate for quantum electrical resistance standards due to its wide quantum Hall plateaus with exceptionally high breakdown currents. However one key underlying mechanism, a magnetic field dependent charge transfer process, is yet to be fully understood. Here we report measurements of the quantum Hall effect in epitaxial graphene showing the...
