Semiclassical analysis and the magnetization of the Hofstadter model.

چکیده
The magnetization and the de Haas-van Alphen oscillations of Bloch electrons are calculated near commensurate magnetic fluxes. Two phases that appear in the quantization of mixed systems--the Berry phase and a phase first discovered by Wilkinson--play a key role in the theory.

Magnetic Fingerprints of Fractal Spectra
We study the T = 0 magnetization of the Hofstadter model. Near a rational flux the magnetization as a function of the chemical potential has the structure of a sequence of lines with quantized slopes, connected by lip-shaped regions. The lips admit a semiclassical description. This structure appears on all scales for irrational fluxes that are well approximated by rationals infinitely often.
متن کاملBerry phase, hyperorbits, and the Hofstadter spectrum: Semiclassical dynamics in magnetic Bloch bands.
We have derived a new set of semiclassical equations for electrons in magnetic Bloch bands. The velocity and energy of magnetic Bloch electrons are found to be modified by the Berry phase and magnetization. This semiclassical approach is used to study general electron transport in a DC or AC electric field. We also find a close connection between the cyclotron orbits in magnetic Bloch bands and...
متن کاملMagnetic Fingerprints of Fractal Spectra and Duality of Hofstadter Models
We study the de-Haas van Alphen oscillations in the magnetization of the Hofstadter model. Near a split band the magnetization is a rapidly oscillations function of the Fermi energy with lip shaped envelopes. For generic magnetic fields this structure appears on all scales and provides a thermodynamic fingerprint of the fractal properties of the model. The analysis applies equally well to the t...
متن کاملMagnetization process from Chern - Simons theory and its application
In two-dimensional systems, it is possible transmute bosons into fermions by use of a Chern-Simons gauge field. Such a mapping is used to compute magnetization processes of two-dimensional magnets. The calculation of the magnetization curve then involves the structure of the Hofstadter problem for the lattice under consideration. Certain features of the Hofstadter butterfly are shown to imply t...
متن کاملMagnetic Saturation Impacts on Fault Analysis of Squirrel-Cage Induction Motors using Winding Function Approach
Multiple coupled circuit modeling of squirrel-cage induction motors, or winding function approach is the most detailed and complete analytical model used to analyze the performance of the faulty induction motors. This paper extends the above-mentioned model to a saturable model including variable degrees of the saturation effects using an appropriate air gap function and novel techniques for lo...
