Energy spectrum of graphene multilayers in a parallel magnetic field

We study the orbital effect of a strong magnetic field parallel to the layers on the energy spectrum of the Bernal-stacked graphene bilayer and multilayers, including graphite. We consider the minimal model with the electron tunneling between the nearest sites in the plane and out of the plane. Using the semiclassical analytical approximation and exact numerical diagonalization, we find that the energy spectrum consists of two domains. In the low- and high-energy domains, the semiclassical electron orbits are closed and open, so the spectra are discrete and continuous, correspondingly. The discrete energy levels are the analogs of the Landau levels for the parallel magnetic field. They can be detected experimentally using electron tunneling and optical spectroscopy. In both domains, the electron wave functions are localized on a finite number of graphene layers, so the results can be applied to graphene multilayers of a finite thickness.Comment: 11 pages, 13 figures.

Field-induced spin density wave in (TMTSF)2_2NO3_3

Interlayer magnetoresistance of the Bechgaard salt (TMTSF)$_2$NO$_3$ is investigated up to 50 teslas under pressures of a few kilobars. This compound, the Fermi surface of which is quasi two-dimensional at low temperature, is a semi metal under pressure. Nevertheless, a field-induced spin density wave is evidenced at 8.5 kbar above $\sim$ 20 T. This state is characterized by a drastically different spectrum of the quantum oscillations compared to the low pressure spin density wave state.Comment: to be published in Phys. Rev. B 71 (2005

The Fractional Quantum Hall effect in an array of quantum wires

We demonstrate the emergence of the quantum Hall (QH) hierarchy in a 2D model of coupled quantum wires in a perpendicular magnetic field. At commensurate values of the magnetic field, the system can develop instabilities to appropriate inter-wire electron hopping processes that drive the system into a variety of QH states. Some of the QH states are not included in the Haldane-Halperin hierarchy. In addition, we find operators allowed at any field that lead to novel crystals of Laughlin quasiparticles. We demonstrate that any QH state is the groundstate of a Hamiltonian that we explicitly construct.Comment: Revtex, 4 pages, 2 figure

Regional socio-economic-geographical systems: approaches to the definition

The article is devoted to the analyses of theoretical approaches towards the definition of the concept "region" in Russian and foreign researches. Research studies of a region as a socio-economic system appears to be sufficiently conventional within the modern socio-economic and geographic science, however the united approach towards theoretical evaluation of the category, its definition and its forming subsystems does not still exists. The authors put emphasis on a topological approach towards the definition of the concept "the regional social, economic and geographical system

Sensitivity of the interlayer magnetoresistance of layered metals to intralayer anisotropies

Many of the most interesting and technologically important electronic materials discovered in the past two decades have two common features: a layered crystal structure and strong interactions between electrons. Two of the most fundamental questions about such layered metals concern the origin of intralayer anisotropies and the coherence of interlayer charge transport. We show that angle dependent magnetoresistance oscillations (AMRO) are sensitive to anisotropies around an intralayer Fermi surface. Hence, AMRO can be a probe of intralayer anisotropies that is complementary to angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). However, AMRO are not very sensitive to the coherence of the interlayer transport. We illustrate this with comparisons to recent AMRO experiments on an overdoped cuprate.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure

Quantum Hall effect anomaly and collective modes in the magnetic-field-induced spin-density-wave phases of quasi-one-dimensional conductors

We study the collective modes in the magnetic-field-induced spin-density-wave (FISDW) phases experimentally observed in organic conductors of the Bechgaard salts family. In phases that exhibit a sign reversal of the quantum Hall effect (Ribault anomaly), the coexistence of two spin-density waves gives rise to additional collective modes besides the Goldstone modes due to spontaneous translation and rotation symmetry breaking. These modes strongly affect the charge and spin response functions. We discuss some experimental consequences for the Bechgaard salts.Comment: Final version (LaTex, 8 pages, no figure), to be published in Europhys. Let

A study on correlation effects in two dimensional topological insulators

We investigate correlation effects in two dimensional topological insulators (TI). In the first part, we discuss finite size effects for interacting systems of different sizes in a ribbon geometry. For large systems, there are two pairs of well separated massless modes on both edges. For these systems, we analyze the finite size effects using a standard bosonization approach. For small systems, where the edge states are massive Dirac fermions, we use the inhomogeneous dynamical mean field theory (DMFT) combined with iterative perturbation theory as an impurity solver to study interaction effects. We show that the finite size gap in the edge states is renormalized for weak interactions, which is consistent with a Fermi-liquid picture for small size TIs. In the second part, we investigate phase transitions in finite size TIs at zero temperature focusing on the effects of possible inter-edge Umklapp scattering for the edge states within the inhomogeneous DMFT using the numerical renormalization group. We show that correlation effects are effectively stronger near the edge sites because the coordination number is smaller than in the bulk. Therefore, the localization of the edge states around the edge sites, which is a fundamental property in TIs, is weakened for strong coupling strengths. However, we find no signs for "edge Mott insulating states" and the system stays in the topological insulating state, which is adiabatically connected to the non-interacting state, for all interaction strengths smaller than the critical value. Increasing the interaction further, a nearly homogeneous Mott insulating state is stabilized.Comment: 20 page
