We have studied Shubnikov de Haas oscillations and the quantum Hall effect in GaAs -double well structures in tilted magnetic fields. We found strong magnetoresistance oscillations as a function of an in-plane magnetic field B∥ at ν = 4N + 3 and ν = 4N + 1 filling factors. At low perpendicular magnetic field B⊥, the amplitude of the conventional Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations also exhibits B∥-periodic dependence at fixed values of B⊥. We interpret the observed oscillations as a manifestation of the interference between cyclotron orbits in different quantum wells.

AbstractThe magnetoconductivity in Fibonacci graphene superlattices is investigated in a perpendicular magnetic field B. It was shown that the B-dependence of the diffusive conductivity exhibits a complicated oscillatory behavior whose characteristics cannot be associated with Weiss oscillations, but rather with Shubnikov-de Haas ones. The absense of Weiss oscillations is attributed to the existence of two incommensurate periods in Fibonacci superlattices. It was also found that the quasiperiodicity of the structure leads to a renormalization of the Fermi velocity $$v_{F}$$ v F of graphene. Our calculations revealed that, for weak B, the dc Hall conductivity $$\sigma _{yx}$$ σ yx exhibits well defined and robust plateaux, where it takes the unexpected values $$\pm 4e^{2}/\hslash \left( 2N+1\right) $$ ± 4 e 2 / ℏ 2 N + 1 , indicating that the half-integer quantum Hall effect does not occur in the considered structure. It was finally shown that $$\sigma _{yx}$$ σ yx displays self-similarity for magnetic fields related by $$\tau ^{2}$$ τ 2 and $$\tau ^{4}$$ τ 4 , where $$\tau $$ τ is the golden mean.

The formalism introduced in a previous paper is used for discussing the Coulomb interaction of many electrons moving in two space-dimensions in the presence of a strong magnetic field. The matrix element of the Coulomb interaction is evaluated in the new basis, whose states are invariant under discrete translations (up to a gauge transformation). This paper is devoted to the case of low filling factor, thus we limit ourselves to the lowest Landau level and to spins all oriented along the magnetic field. For the case of filling factor νf = 1/u we give an Ansatz on the state of many electrons which provides a good approximated solution of the Hartree–Fock equation. For general filling factor νf = u′/u a trial state is given which converges very rapidly to a solution of the self-consistent equation. We generalize the Hartree–Fock equation by considering some correlation: all quantum states are allowed for the u′ electrons with the same translation quantum numbers. Numerical results are given for the mean energy and the energy bands, for some values of the filling factor (νf = 1/2, 1/3, 2/3, 1/4, 3/4, 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5). Our results agree numerically with the Charge Density Wave approach. The boundary conditions are shown to be very important: only large systems (degeneracy of Landau level over 200) are not affected by the boundaries. Therefore results obtained on small scale systems are somewhat unreliable. The relevance of the results for the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect is briefly discussed.

We present a study of a graphene-based Josephson junction with dedicated side gates carved from the same sheet of graphene as the junction itself. These side gates are highly efficient and allow us to modulate carrier density along either edge of the junction in a wide range. In particular, in magnetic fields in the 1- to 2-T range, we are able to populate the next Landau level, resulting in Hall plateaus with conductance that differs from the bulk filling factor. When counter-propagating quantum Hall edge states are introduced along either edge, we observe a supercurrent localized along that edge of the junction. Here, we study these supercurrents as a function of magnetic field and carrier density.

The collapse of spin splitting in the integer quantum Hall effect is investigated for a series of Al x Ga 1-x As / GaAs heterojunctions and quantum wells. Magnetoresistance measurements are performed at mK temperature, and a simple model is developed to simulate spin splitting. As expected a single-electron picture cannot reproduce the observed spin splitting, whereas a phenomenological enhanced-spin gap taking into account exchange interactions between electrons provides a good description. The phenomenological spin gap, which is linear in B at high magnetic field, collapses when the spin splitting collapses. This is consistent with previously proposed disorder-driven destruction of exchange interactions with decreasing magnetic field.

We investigate the quantum Hall effect in graphene. We argue that in graphene in presence of an external magnetic field there is dynamical generation of mass by a rearrangement of the Dirac sea. We show that the mechanism breaks the lattice valley degeneracy only for the n = 0 Landau levels and leads to the new observed ν = ±1 quantum Hall plateaus. We suggest that our result can be tested by means of numerical simulations of planar Quantum Electro Dynamics with dynamical fermions in an external magnetic fields on the lattice.

Abstract. The 30 nm wide quantum wells on a 4x4 mm2 piece of GaAs/AlGaAs are formed when the layers of GaAs are deposited on AlGaAs films. The two-dimensional density of electrons is 3x1011 cm-2 and the mobility is 32x106 cm2/Vs. In such a sample the Hall resistivity as a function of magnetic field is not a linear function. Hence a suitable theory to understand the Hall effect is formulated. We find that there are phase transitions as a function of temperature. There are lots of fractions of charge which are explained on the basis of spin and orbital angular momentum of the electron. The nano meter size films of graphite also show that the Hall resistivity is non-linear and shows steps as a function of magnetic field. We make an effort to understand the steps in the Hall effect resistivity of graphite with quantum wells formed on the surface. It is found that the fractions are in four categories, (i) the principal fractions which are determined by spin and orbital angular momenta, (ii) the resonances which occur at the difference between two values such as =1-2, (iii) two-particle states which occur at the sum of the two frequencies and (iv) there are clusters of electrons localized in some areas of the sample. The spin in the clusters is polarized so that it becomes NS which is not 1/2 but depends on the number N, of electrons in a cluster.

The dependences of the longitudinal and Hall resistances on a magnetic field in n-InGaAs/GaAs heterostructures with a single and double quantum wells after infrared illumination are measured in the range of magnetic fields B=0-16 T and temperatures T=0.05-4.2 K. Analysis of the experimental results was carried out on a base of two-parameter scaling hypothesis for the integer quantum Hall effect. The value of the second (irrelevant) critical exponent of the theory of two-parameter scaling was estimated. DOI: 10.21883/FTP.2017.02.44119.8302
