Häusler, W., De Martino, A., Ghosh, T. K. & Egger, R. (2008). Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid parameters of magnetic waveguides in graphene. Physical Review B (PRB), 78, doi: 10.1103/PhysRevB.78.165402

Abstract

Electronic waveguides in graphene formed by counterpropagating snake states in suitable inhomogeneous magnetic fields are shown to constitute a realization of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. Due to the spatial separation of the right- and left-moving snake states, this non-Fermi liquid state induced by electron-electron interactions is essentially unaffected by disorder. We calculate the interaction parameters accounting for the absence of Galilei invariance in this system, and thereby demonstrate that non-Fermi liquid effects are significant and tunable in realistic geometries.
