چکیده

We study, within the Hartree approximation, the effects of the electronelectron interaction on the energy spectrum of a two-dimensional electron gas in a perpendicular homogeneous magnetic field and a lateral superlattice potential with square symmetry. Due to the strong screening effects, the bandwidth of the Landau bands oscillates strongly with their filling. For short enough periods and strong enough modulation of the superlattice potential, the miniband structure of the Landau bands can be resolved in the thermodynamic density of states. 71.20.-b 73.20.Dx Typeset using REVTEX

Acoustic characterization of Hofstadter butterfly with resonant scatterers

We are interested in the experimental characterization of the Hofstadter butterfly by means of acoustical waves. The transmission of an acoustic pulse through an array of 60 variable and resonant scatterers periodically distribued along a waveguide is studied. An arbitrary scattering arrangement is realized by using the variable length of each resonator cavity. For a periodic modulation, the st...

Quantum duality and Bethe - Ansatz for the Hofstadter problem on hexagonal lattice

The Hofstadter problem is studied on the hexagonal lattice. We first establish a relation between the spectra for the hexagonal lattice and for its dual lattice, the triangular lattice. Following the idea of Faddeev and Kashaev, we then obtain the Bethe-Ansatz equations for this system.

Magnetization 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...

Landau levels , electric dipole transitions , and the Hofstadter butterfly in finite systems

We present the results of numerical calculations of the energy levels and eigenfunctions of finite sections of a tight-binding square lattice in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field. The energy spectrum of such a system, plotted as a function of magnetic field, resembles the Hofstadter butterfly found for the infinite system. In high magnetic fields, each eigenstate carries a persiste...

We calculate the electronic spectrum of bilayer graphene in perpendicular magnetic fields nonperturbatively. To accomodate arbitrary displacements between the two layers, we apply a periodic gauge based on singular flux vortices of phase 2π. The resulting Hofstadter-like butterfly plots show a reduced symmetry, depending on the relative position of the two layers against each other. The split o...
