Abstract

Cyclotron resonances of electron space-charge layers in GaAs were studied at ${}^{3}\mathrm{He}$ temperatures covering a density regime from 2 to $13\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{11} {\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2}.$ For densities higher than about $6\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{11} {\mathrm{cm}}^{\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2}$ many-body influences are sufficiently reduced such that line splittings due to band-structure influences were involved. At integer filling factors the spin-up and spin-down electrons are not completely decoupled as predicted by theory. Inter Landau-level optical gaps are renormalized at odd fillings, and there is a correlation gap between spin- and charge-density excitations in the long-wavelength limit.

STRONGLY CORRELATED PHASES IN QUANTUM HALL SYSTEMS

Amartya Saha

Quantum Hall systems have a one-body energy spectrum consisting of dispersion-less Landau levels. Electron-electron interactions thus dominate in partially filled Landau levels, which exhibit a myriad of strongly correlated phases such as quantum hall ferromagnets and fractional quantum Hall phases. We study two examples of these phenomena. In the first project, we explore the ground state of a system with an interface between two semi-infinite regions with fillings ν= 4 and ν= 3 respectively. The width of the interface can be controlled by varying the background potential, which provides an additional tuning parameter. For a certain range of interaction strengths, the ν= 4 bulk is unpolarized whereas the ν= 3 bulk is fully polarized. In the parameter space spanned by the interaction strength and width of the interface, we find two phases at the interface. Phase A has spin as a good quantum number, and the long-wavelength spin edge excitations are gapped. In phase B, spin rotation symmetry is spontaneously broken at the mean-field level. Using symmetry arguments we find the effective theory near the interface of phase B. This effective theory is known to have gapless long-wavelength spin excitations. In the second project, we study the ground state of a tunnel-decoupled double-layer graphene system when both layers are undoped. We find a simple Hamiltonian in the continuum limit from symmetries of the system. Using the Hartree-Fock approximation we find a state with inter-layer coherence with broken layer U(1) symmetry. This phase becomes magnetized in presence of a non-zero Zeeman field. A first-order phase transition can be driven from the ferromagnetic phase to the magnetized inter-layer coherent phase by increasing the Zeeman field. We predict the number of gapless modes in the bulk.

Influence of spin and charge fluctuations on spectra of the two-dimensional Hubbard model

A. Sherman

The influence of spin and charge fluctuations on spectra of the two-dimensional fermionic Hubbard model is considered using the strong coupling diagram technique. Infinite sequences of diagrams containing ladder inserts, which describe the interaction of electrons with these fluctuations, are summed, and obtained equations are self-consistently solved for the ranges of Hubbard repulsions [Formula: see text], temperatures [Formula: see text] and electron concentrations [Formula: see text] with t the intersite hopping constant. For all considered U the system exhibits a transition to the long-range antiferromagnetic order at [Formula: see text]. At the same time no indication of charge ordering is observed. Obtained solutions agree satisfactorily with results of other approaches and obey moments sum rules. In the considered region of the U-T plane, the curve separating metallic solutions passes from [Formula: see text] at the highest temperatures to U = 2t at [Formula: see text] for half-filling. If only short-range fluctuations are allowed for the remaining part of this region is occupied by insulating solutions. Taking into account long-range fluctuations leads to strengthening of maxima tails, which transform a part of insulating solutions into bad-metal states. For low T, obtained results allow us to trace the gradual transition from the regime of strong correlations with the pronounced four-band structure and well-defined Mott gap for [Formula: see text] to the Slater regime of weak correlations with the spectral intensity having a dip along the boundary of the magnetic Brillouin zone due to an antiferromagnetic ordering for [Formula: see text]. For [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] doping leads to the occurrence of a pseudogap near the Fermi level, which is a consequence of the splitting out of a narrow band from a Hubbard subband. Obtained spectra feature waterfalls and Fermi arcs, which are similar to those observed in hole-doped cuprates.

The Effects of Band Dispersion and Interactions on the Excitation Gaps in the Periodic Anderson Model in Infinite Dimensions

Yukihiro Shimizu, Osamu Sakai, Alex C. Hewson

We investigate the inter-play of f-electron band dispersion and inter-f electron interactions on the gap in the one electron density of states (DOS) of the periodic Anderson model. The calculations are based on dynamical mean field theory and the numerical renormalization group method for the model in infinite dimensions. The local f-electron DOS at low energies for the electron-hole symmetric model with interactions is found to have a complete-gap, a pseudo-gap or to be gap-less, whenever these structures occur for the non-interacting model but the parameters that characterize these features are strongly renormalized. As the degree of f-electron dispersion is increased, when there is a complete gap, the many-body renormalization remains almost constant, but in the pseudo-gap case the renormalization increases. We calculate the sizes of gaps both in the local DOS and in the dynamic local susceptibilities. When the gap width is defined by the edges in the spectrum for the complete-gap model, the widths of the indirect gap and the spin gap are equal, independent of the degree of electron correlation. However, if the width is defined as the excitation energy between the peaks in the spectrum, then the ratio of the indirect gap to the spin gap increases and eventually saturates as the correlation increases. The value of this ratio depends on the f-electron band dispersion. We have also investigated the dependence of the shape of the interacting DOS on the f-band filling for different forms of f-band dispersion. When the f-band dispersion is small, the gap structure in the symmetric model vanishes as the filling factor decreases. When the model, including the dispersion, has no gap structure, the filling dependence on the DOS in low energies is similar to that for a single impurity Anderson model. The energy dispersion of the quasi-particle in the range, ε f < ε < ε f + U , is approximately explained by the renormalized band model in the cases of both large and small f-band dispersion.

Electronic correlation in the quantum Hall regime

Marcus Kasner

Two-dimensional interacting electron systems become strongly correlated if the electrons are subject to a perpendicular high magnetic field. After introducing the physics of the quantum Hall regime the incompressible many-particle ground state and its excitations are studied in detail at fractional filling factors for spin-polarized electrons. The spin degree of freedom whose importance was shown in recent experiments is considered by studying the thermodynamics at filling factor one and near one.

Fractional Quantum Hall Effects in Graphene and Its Bilayer

Naokazu Shibata, Kentaro Nomura

Single-layer and Bilayer of graphene are new classes of two-dimensional electron systems with unconventional band structures and valley degrees of freedom. The ground states and excitations in the integer and fractional quantum Hall regimes are investigated on torus and spherical geometries with the use of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. At nonzero Landau level indices, the ground states at effective filling factors 1, 1/3, 2/3 and 2/5 are valley polarized both in single-layer and bilayer graphenes. We examine the elementary charge excitations which could couple with the valley degrees of freedom (so called valley skyrmions). The excitation gaps are calculated and extrapolated to the thermodynamic limit. The largest excitation gap at effective filling 1/3 is obtained in bilayer graphene, which is a good candidate for experimental observation of fractional quantum Hall effect.
