Stacking Faults, Bound States, and Quantum Hall Plateaus in Crystalline Graphite
arXiv:0809.2543 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.78.245416
Abstract
We analyze the electronic properties of a simple stacking defect in Bernal graphite. We show that a bound state forms, which disperses as $|\bfk-\bfK|^3$ in the vicinity of either of the two inequivalent zone corners $\bfK$. In the presence of a strong c-axis magnetic field, this bound state develops a Landau level structure which for low energies behaves as $E\nd_n\propto |n B|^{3/2}$. We show that buried stacking faults have observable consequences for surface spectroscopy, and we discuss the implications for the three-dimensional quantum Hall effect (3DQHE). We also analyze the Landau level structure and chiral surface states of rhombohedral graphite, and show that, when doped, it should exhibit multiple 3DQHE plateaus at modest fields.
