Talk:Landau quantization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A plot of energy versus wave vector (parabolas separated by \hbar\Omega) could be helpful for the understanding. Bamse 01:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

I don't think a plot will help since the energy is independent of the wave vector. Chuck Yee 20:25, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

True, unless the motion is not confined in z in which case there is a term \frac{\hbar k_z^2}{2m} in the energy. But probably such plot doesn't tell much indeed. Bamse 01:42, 10 September 2007 (UTC)


The claim that there is a limit to N in a finite geometry is quite probably wrong, see A. S. Mikhailov's arguments in an apparently unpublished paper, which seem irrefutable to me; if I had found a published version of that paper, I would have removed the above claim without further ado.
