非均匀磁场作用下二维电子气中一类新的朗道能级和霍尔相:解析解

摘要:

本文导出了电子在静态非均匀磁场($1/r$ -衰减)作用下的束缚态的解析封闭形式解,其中包括塞曼相互作用。该解决方案提供了一个二维的,非相互作用的,电子气在热力学极限的多体属性。径向畸变的朗道能级以及靠近磁性杂质的磁场感应密度和电流振荡可以被识别。这些径向局域振荡强烈依赖于自旋与磁场的耦合,这会产生非平凡的自旋电流。此外,塞曼相互作用为$E_F=0^+$引入了一个最低的平带,假设自旋$g_s$因子为2。令人惊讶的是,在这种情况下,电荷和电流密度可以在热力学极限下解析计算。数值计算表明,电子气的总磁响应保持反磁性(类似朗道能级)的费米能量无关。然而,某些无限简并的能级的贡献可能变成顺磁性。此外,霍尔电导率的数值计算揭示了电子气的渐近性质,其由矢量势的各向异性而不是磁场驱动,即变得与自旋无关。最终,扭曲的朗道能级产生不同的霍尔电导相,其特征在于在特定的费米能量急剧的符号翻转。总的来说,我们的工作融合了“杂质”与朗道能级物理,这不仅在局部,而且在渐近极限提供了新的物理见解。这为今后大量的理论和实验研究铺平了道路。

英文摘要:

An analytic closed form solution is derived for the bound states of electrons subject to a static, inhomogeneous ($1/r$-decaying) magnetic field, including the Zeeman interaction. The solution provides access to many-body properties of a two-dimensional, non-interacting, electron gas in the thermodynamic limit. Radially distorted Landau levels can be identified as well as magnetic field induced density and current oscillations close to the magnetic impurity. These radially localised oscillations depend strongly on the coupling of the spin to the magnetic field, which give rise to non-trivial spin currents. Moreover, the Zeeman interaction introduces a lowest flat band for $E_F=0^+$ assuming a spin $g_s$-factor of two. Surprisingly, in this case the charge and current densities can be computed analytically in the thermodynamic limit. Numerical calculations show that the total magnetic response of the electron gas remains diamagnetic (similar to Landau levels) independent of the Fermi energy. However, the contribution of certain, infinitely degenerate energy levels may become paramagnetic. Furthermore, numerical computations of the Hall conductivity reveal asymptotic properties of the electron gas, which are driven by the anisotropy of the vector potential instead of the magnetic field, i.e. become independent of spin. Eventually, the distorted Landau levels give rise to different Hall conductivity phases, which are characterized by sharp sign flips at specific Fermi energies. Overall, our work merges "impurity" with Landau-level physics, which provides novel physical insights, not only locally, but also in the asymptotic limit. This paves the way for a large number of future theoretical as well as experimental investigations.
