Landau level substructure and mixing in the relativistic quantum Hall effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
We calculate the local density of states for a relativistic massless particle in the presence of crossed electric and magnetic fields. The Landau levels are broadened and aquire a modulation due to the electric field. We give detailed predictions for the shape of Landau levels in the relativistic case based on analytical expressions.

In this paper we study the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) on the systems with different types of impurities in delta and gaussian forms. The Landau energy levels in the presence of impurity split in two different levels,the extended and localized levels, emerging then the Hall step. Finally, we add a specified form of a quantum dot potential to a system with impurity, and observed that incr...
متن کاملComposite fermions and Landau-level mixing in the fractional quantum Hall effect.
The reduction of the energy gap due to Landau level mixing, characterized by the dimensionless parameter λ = (e/ǫl0)/h̄ωc, has been calculated by variational Monte Carlo for the fractional quantum Hall effect at filling fractions ν = 1/3 and 1/5 using a modified version of Jain’s composite fermion wave functions. These wave functions exploit the Landau level mixing already present in composite f...

متن کاملUnique nature of the lowest Landau level in finite graphene samples with zigzag edges: Dirac electrons with mixed bulk-edge character
Dirac electrons in finite graphene samples with zigzag edges under high magnetic fields (in the regime of Landau-level formation) are investigated with regard to their bulk-type and edge-type character. We employ tight-binding calculations on finite graphene flakes (with various shapes) to determine the sublattice components of the electron density in conjunction with analytic expressions (via ...
متن کاملRenormalization Group Derivation of the Localization Length Exponent in the Integer Quantum Hall Effect
We compute, neglecting possible effects of subleading irrelevant couplings, the localization length exponent in the integer quantum Hall effect, for the case of white noise random potentials. The result obtained is ν = 2 for all Landau levels. Our approach consists in a renormalization group transformation of Landau orbitals, which iterates the generating functional of Green’s functions for the...
