Graphene in a Strong Magnetic Field: Massless Dirac Particles vs. Skyrmions
arXiv:0809.0217 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.78.195426
Abstract
We discuss models for massless Dirac fermions being subject to a perpendicular magnetic field in spherical geometry. These models are analogues of Haldane`s spherical construction for massful charge carriers. The single particle states constructed here are easily implemented in existing numerical code for many-body problems in conventional quantum Hall systems. Moreover, the many-body states of fully filled sublevels in the subspace of lowest Landau level index are skyrmions with respect to the layer spin.
