Magnetic field effects on two-dimensional Kagome lattices
نویسندگان
چکیده
Magnetic field effects on single-particle energy bands (Hofstadter butterfly), Hall conductance, flat-band ferromagnetism, and magnetoresistance of twodimensional Kagome lattices are studied. The flat-band ferromagnetism is shown to be broken as the flat-band has finite dispersion in the magnetic field. A metal-insulator transition induced by the magnetic field (giant negative magnetoresistance) is predicted. In the half-filled flat band, the ferromagneticparamagnetic transition and the metal-insulator one occur simultaneously at a magnetic field for strongly interacting electrons. All of the important magnetic fields effects should be observable in mesoscopic systems such as quantum dot superlattices. 73.63.-b, 75.75.+a, 73.43.Qt Typeset using REVTEX

Flat-band excitonic states in Kagome lattice on semiconductor surfaces
Recent surface techniques to fabricate and arrange quantum wires on the semiconductor surface have enabled to synthesize the artificial two-dimensional lattice systems such as square and triangle lattices. For example, C. Albrecht et al. produced a square lattice by arranging InAs wires on GaInAs (001) surface and showed that a butterfly energy spectra is seen in the case of applying the magnet...
متن کاملMagnetic multipole analysis of kagome and artificial spin-ice dipolar arrays
We analyze an array of linearly extended monodomain dipoles forming square and kagome lattices. We find that its phase diagram contains two distinct finite-entropy kagome ice regimes—one disordered, one algebraic—as well as a low-temperature ordered phase. In the limit of the islands almost touching, we find a staircase of corresponding entropy plateaux, which is analytically captured by a theo...
متن کاملJ ul 2 00 6 The mobility of dual vortices in honeycomb , square , triangular , Kagome and dice lattices
It was known that by a duality transformation, interacting bosons at filling factor f = p/q hopping on a lattice can be mapped to interacting vortices hopping on the dual lattice subject to a fluctuating dual ” magnetic field” whose average strength through a dual plaquette is equal to the boson density f = p/q. So the kinetic term of the vortices is the same as the Hofstadter problem of electr...
متن کاملPatterning Graphitic C-N Sheets into a Kagome Lattice for Magnetic Materials.
We propose porous C-N-based structures for biocompatible magnetic materials that do not contain even a single metal ion. Using first-principles calculations based on density functional theory, we show that when patterned in the form of a kagome lattice, nonmagnetic g-C3N4 not only becomes ferromagnetic but also its magnetic properties can be further enhanced by applying external strain. Similar...
متن کاملVibrational Properties of a Two-Dimensional Silica Kagome Lattice
Kagome lattices are structures possessing fascinating magnetic and vibrational properties, but in spite of a large body of theoretical work, experimental realizations and investigations of their dynamics are scarce. Using a combination of Raman spectroscopy and density functional theory calculations, we study the vibrational properties of two-dimensional silica (2D-SiO2), which has a kagome lat...
