Topological phases in the zeroth Landau level of bilayer graphene.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We analyze the phase diagram of the zeroth Landau level of bilayer graphene, taking into account the realistic effects of screening of the Coulomb interaction and strong mixing between two degenerate sublevels. We identify robust quantum Hall states at filling factors ν=-1, -4/3, -5/3, -8/5, -1/2 and discuss the nature of their ground states, collective excitations, and relation to the more familiar states in GaAs using a tractable model. In particular, we present evidence that the ν=-1/2 state is non-Abelian and described by either the Moore-Read wave function or its particle-hole conjugate, while ruling out other candidates such as the 331 state.

Unconventional fractional quantum Hall effect in monolayer and bilayer graphene
The commensurability condition is applied to determine the hierarchy of fractional fillings of Landau levels in monolayer and in bilayer graphene. The filling rates for fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in graphene are found in the first three Landau levels in one-to-one agreement with the experimental data. The presence of even denominator filling fractions in the hierarchy for FQHE in bil...
متن کاملRobust fractional quantum Hall effect in the N=2 Landau level in bilayer graphene
The fractional quantum Hall effect is a canonical example of electron-electron interactions producing new ground states in many-body systems. Most fractional quantum Hall studies have focussed on the lowest Landau level, whose fractional states are successfully explained by the composite fermion model. In the widely studied GaAs-based system, the composite fermion picture is thought to become u...
متن کاملThermal Transport Signatures of Broken-Symmetry Phases in Graphene.
In the half filled zero-energy Landau level of bilayer graphene, competing phases with spontaneously broken symmetries and an intriguing quantum critical behavior have been predicted. Here we investigate signatures of these broken-symmetry phases in thermal transport measurements. To this end, we calculate the spectrum of spin and valley waves in the ν=0 quantum Hall state of bilayer graphene. ...
متن کاملInfluence of interlayer asymmetry on magneto-spectroscopy of bilayer graphene
We present a self-consistent calculation of the interlayer asymmetry in bilayer graphene caused by an applied electric field in magnetic fields. We show how this asymmetry influences the Landau level spectrum in bilayer graphene and the observable inter-Landau level transitions when they are studied as a function of high magnetic field at fixed filling factor as measured experimentally in Ref. ...
متن کاملStrained bilayer graphene: Band structure topology and Landau level spectrum
We show that topology of the low-energy band structure in bilayer graphene critically depends on mechanical deformations of the crystal which may easily develop in suspended graphene flakes. We describe the Lifshitz transition that takes place in strained bilayers upon splitting the parabolic bands at intermediate energies into several Dirac cones at the energy scale of a few meV. Then, we show...
