Quantum Hall Effect in Three-dimensional Field-Induced Spin Density Wave Phases with a Tilted Magnetic Field

Abstract

The quantum Hall effect in the three-dimensional anisotropic tight-binding electrons is investigated in the field-induced spin density wave phases with a magnetic field tilted to any direction. The Hall conductivity, $σ_{xy}$ and $σ_{xz}$, are shown to be quantized as a function of the wave vector of FISDW, while $σ_{yz}$ stays zero, where $x$ is the most conducting direction and $y$ and $z$ are perpendicular to $x$.
