Novel Magnetic Quantization of sp${}^3$ Bonding in Monolayer Tinene

Abstract

A generalized tight-binding model, which is based on the subenvelope functions of the different sublattices, is developed to explore the novel magnetic quantization in monolayer gray tin. The effects due to the $s{p}^3$ bonding, the spin-orbital coupling, the magnetic field and the electric field are simultaneously taken into consideration. The unique magneto-electronic properties lie in two groups of low-lying Landau levels, with different orbital components, localization centers, state degeneracy, spin configurations, and magnetic- and electric-field dependences. The first and second groups mainly come from the $5p_z$ and ($5p_x$,$5p_y$) orbitals, respectively. Their Landau-level splittings are, respectively, induced by the electric field and spin-orbital interactions. The intragroup anti-crossings are only revealed in the former. The unique tinene Landau levels are absent in graphene, silicene and germanene.
