Quantum Hall effect in three-dimensional graphene.
We theoretically study the electronic band structure and the Hall effect in the negatively-curved three-dimensional (3D) graphene network in magnetic fields. We found that special energy regions appear above and below the zero-energy Landau level, where the 3D Hall conductivity is quantized even though the spectrum is not fully gapped. The energy regions are dominated by the chiral snake states traveling along the zero magnetic field contour on the 3D surface, and the quantization of the Hall conductivity crucially depends on the topology of the contour. The exclusive energy region for the chiral states is found to be a universal feature of 3D graphene systems.

Keeping up-to-date with research can feel impossible, with papers being published faster than you'll ever be able to read them. That's where Researcher comes in: we're simplifying discovery and making important discussions happen. With over 19,000 sources, including peer-reviewed journals, preprints, blogs, universities, podcasts and Live events across 10 research areas, you'll never miss what's important to you. It's like social media, but better. Oh, and we should mention - it's free.
Researcher displays publicly available abstracts and doesn’t host any full article content. If the content is open access, we will direct clicks from the abstracts to the publisher website and display the PDF copy on our platform.
