Magnetic von-Neumann lattice for two-dimensional electrons in the magnetic field

Abstract

One-particle eigenstates and eigenvalues of two-dimensional electrons in the strong magnetic field with short range impurity and impurities, cosine potential, boundary potential, and periodic array of short range potentials are obtained by magnetic von-Neumann lattice in which Landau level wave functions have minimum spatial extensions. We find that there is a dual correspondence between cosine potential and lattice kinetic term and that the representation based on the von-Neumann lattice is quite useful for solving the system's dynamics.
