Disorder-induced magnetooscillations in bilayer graphene at high bias
Energy spectrum of biased bilayer graphene near the bottom has a
"Mexican-hat"-like shape. For the Fermi level within the Mexican hat we predict
that, apart from conventional magnetooscillations which vanish with
temperature, there are additional magnetooscillations which are weakly
sensitive to temperature. These oscillations are also insensitive to a
long-range disorder. Their period in magnetic field scales with bias, V, as
V^2. The origin of these oscillations is the disorder-induced scattering
between electron-like and hole-like Fermi-surfaces, specific for Mexican hat.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Scattering of plasmons at the intersection of two metallic nanotubes: Implications for tunnelling
We study theoretically the plasmon scattering at the intersection of two
metallic carbon nanotubes. We demonstrate that for a small angle of crossing,
, the transmission coefficient is an oscillatory function of
, where is the interaction parameter of the Luttinger
liquid in an individual nanotube. We calculate the tunnel density of states,
, as a function of energy, , and distance, , from the
intersection. In contrast to a single nanotube, we find that, in the geometry
of crossed nanotubes, conventional "rapid" oscillations in due
to the plasmon scattering acquire an aperiodic "slow-breathing" envelope which
has nodes.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures (revised version
The photon absorption edge in superconductors and gapped 1D systems
Opening of a gap in the low-energy excitations spectrum affects the power-law
singularity in the photon absorption spectrum . In the normal state,
the singularity, , is
characterized by an interaction-dependent exponent . On the contrary,
in the supeconducting state the divergence, , is
interaction-independent, while threshold is shifted, ; the ``normal-metal'' form of resumes
at . If the core
hole is magnetic, it creates in-gap states; these states transform drastically
the absorption edge. In addition, processes of scattering off the magnetic core
hole involving spin-flip give rise to inelastic absorption with one or several
{\it real} excited pairs in the final state, yielding a structure of peaks in
at multiples of above the threshold frequency. The above
conclusions apply to a broad class of systems, e.g., Mott insulators, where a
gap opens at the Fermi level due to the interactions.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures; published versio
