Magnetic-Field-Induced Insulating Behavior in Highly Oriented Pyrolitic Graphite

Open access
Khveshchenko, D. V.·2001·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

We propose an explanation for the apparent semimetal-insulator transition observed in highly oriented pyrolitic graphite in the presence of magnetic field perpendicular to the layers. We show that the magnetic field opens an excitonic gap in the linear spectrum of the Coulomb interacting quasiparticles, in close analogy with the phenomenon of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking in the relativistic theories of the (2+1)-dimensional Dirac fermions. Our strong-coupling approach allows for a nonperturbative description of the corresponding critical behavior.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
