Landau quantization in buckled monolayer GaAs
arXiv:1705.06016 · doi:10.1038/s41598-018-36516-8
Abstract
Magneto-electronic properties of buckled monolayer GaAs is studied by the developed generalized tight-binding model, considering the buckled structure, multi-orbital chemical bondings, spin-orbit coupling, electric field, and magnetic field simultaneously. Three group of spin-polarized Landau levels (LLs) near the Fermi level are induced by the magnetic quantization, whose initial energies, LL degeneracy, energy spacings, magnetic-field-dependence, and spin polarization are investigated. The Landau state probabilities describing the oscillation patterns, localization centers, and node regularities of the dominated/minor orbitals are analyzed, and their energy-dependent variations are discussed. The given density of states directly reflects the main features of the LL energy spectra in the structure, height, number, and frequency of the spin-polarized LL peaks. The electric field causes the monotonous/nonmonotonous LL energy dispersions, LL crossing, gap modulation, phase transition and spin splitting enhancement. The complex gap modulations and phase transitions based on the competition between magnetic and electric fields are explored in detail by the phase diagram. The field-controlled gap modulations and phase transitions are helpful in designing the top-gated and phase-change electronic devices. These predicted magneto-electronic properties could be verified by scanning tunneling spectroscopy measurements.
