石墨烯分形量子霍尔态的激发能隙

Excitation Gap of Fractal Quantum Hall States in Graphene

Wenchen Luo, Tapash Chakraborty

摘要:

在外加磁场和周期势的情况下,二维电子气的朗道能级谱在能谱中呈现出一种分形图案,这种分形图案被描述为霍夫施塔特蝴蝶。在这项工作中,我们开发了一个Hartree-Fock理论来处理在Hofstadter的蝴蝶状态的电子-电子相互作用在一个有限大小的石墨烯周期性的边界条件,其中我们包括自旋和谷自由度。然后,我们把蝴蝶态看作电子晶体,这样我们就可以在动量空间和无限样本中得到晶体的序参量。在无限样本中获得的激发间隙与有限尺寸研究中的激发间隙相当,并且与最近的实验观察结果一致。

英文摘要:

In the presence of a magnetic field and an external periodic potential, the Landau level spectrum of a two-dimensional electron gas exhibits a fractal pattern in the energy spectrum which is described as the Hofstadter's butterfly. In this work, we develop a Hartree-Fock theory to deal with the electron-electron interaction in the Hofstadter's butterfly state in a finite-size graphene with periodic boundary conditions, in which we include both spin and valley degrees of freedom. We then treat the butterfly state as an electron crystal so that we could obtain the order parameters of the crystal in the momentum space and also in an infinite sample. The excitation gaps obtained in the infinite sample is comparable to those in the finite-size study, and agree with a recent experimental observation.
