In-plane magnetic field induced anisotropy of 2D Fermi contours and the field dependent cyclotron mass
نویسندگان
چکیده
The electronic structure of a 2D gas subjected to a tilted magnetic field, with a strong component parallel to the GaAs/AlGaAs interface and a weak component oriented perpendicularly, is studied theoretically. It is shown that the parallel field component modifies the originally circular shape of a Fermi contour while the perpendicular component drive an electron by the Lorentz force along a Fermi line with a cyclotron frequency given by its shape. The corresponding cyclotron effective mass is calculated self-consistently for several concentrations of 2D carriers as a function of the in-plane magnetic field. The possibility to detect its field-induced deviations from the zero field value experimentally is discussed. submitted to Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter

2D-Magnetic Field and Biaxiall In-Plane Pre-Load Effects on the Vibration of Double Bonded Orthotropic Graphene Sheets
In this study, thermo-nonlocal vibration of double bonded graphene sheet (DBGS) subjected to 2D-magnetic field under biaxial in-plane pre-load are presented. The elastic forces between layers of graphene sheet (GS) are taken into account by Pasternak foundation and the classical plate theory (CLPT) and continuum orthotropic elastic plate are used. The nonlocal theory of Eringen and Maxwell’s re...
متن کاملGiant magnetoresistance, three-dimensional Fermi surface and origin of resistivity plateau in YSb semimetal
Very strong magnetoresistance and a resistivity plateau impeding low temperature divergence due to insulating bulk are hallmarks of topological insulators and are also present in topological semimetals where the plateau is induced by magnetic field, when time-reversal symmetry (protecting surface states in topological insulators) is broken. Similar features were observed in a simple rock-salt-s...
متن کاملQuasi-two-dimensional Dirac fermions and quantum magnetoresistance in LaAgBi2
We report quasi-two-dimensional Dirac fermions and quantum magnetoresistance in LaAgBi2. The band structure shows several narrow bands with nearly linear energy dispersion and Diraccone-like points at the Fermi level. The quantum oscillation experiments revealed one quasi-twodimensional Fermi pocket and another complex pocket with small cyclotron resonant mass. The in-plane transverse magnetore...
متن کاملSpatial detection of ferromagnetic wires using GMR sensor and based on shape induced anisotropy
The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new technique for row spacing measurement in a wire array using giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensor. The self-rectifying property of the GMR-based probes leads to accurately detection of the magnetic field fluctuations caused by surface-breaking cracks in conductive materials, shape-induced magnetic anisotropy, etc. The ability to manufacture probes h...
