Landau levels

    0.01 sec.
Landau levels [′lan‚dau̇ ‚lev·əlz]
(solid-state physics)
Energy levels of conduction electrons which occur in a metal subjected to a magnetic field at very low temperatures and which are quantized because of the quantization of the electron motion perpendicular to the field.

There are new chapters on topics such as Dirac electrons, super symmetry, charge density wave states in higher Landau levels, and unconventional QH effects in graphene.
Since the Landau levels are split by the Zeeman energy, the energy gap between the filled higher energy spin-split level (even filling factors) and the next low energy spin-split Landau level would be reduced from the pure cyclotron energy.
