Title: Unconventional integer quantum Hall effect in graphene. Author: Gusynin VP, Sharapov SG. Journal: Phys Rev Lett; 2005 Sep 30; 95(14):146801. PubMed ID: 16241680. Abstract: Monolayer graphite films, or graphene, have quasiparticle excitations that can be described by (2+1)-dimensional Dirac theory. We demonstrate that this produces an unconventional form of the quantized Hall conductivity sigma(xy) = -(2e2/h)(2n+1) with n = 0, 1, ..., which notably distinguishes graphene from other materials where the integer quantum Hall effect was observed. This unconventional quantization is caused by the quantum anomaly of the n=0 Landau level and was discovered in recent experiments on ultrathin graphite films.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
