Abstract:
We theoretically study the Landau levels and the magneto-optical conductivity of eight-Pmmnborophene in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field and an inplane electric field. We find that in the absence of the inplane electric field, the magneto-optical conductivity of eight-Pmmnborophene presents a series of striking single resonance peaks as functions of the frequencyω, and the longitudinal conductivities are found to be anisotropic due to its anisotropic tilted Dirac cones. In the presence of the inplane electric field, some novel effects are predicted on the Landau levels and the magneto-optical conductivity. The Landau level spacings in the two tilted Dirac cones are different, which lifts the degeneracy of the twofold valley, and the magneto-optical conductivity appears a double peak structure. We also discuss the influence of the chemical potential between different Landau levels on the double peak of the magneto-optical response. The valley related magneto-optical properties in the anisotropic structure may make eight-Pmmnborophene a candidate for the new optical devices.

Magnetic Field due to Moving Charges
Consider a point charge moving with a constant velocity. Like the electric field, the magnetic field at any point is directly proportional to the magnitude of the charge and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between the source point and the field point. However, unlike the electric field, the magnetic field is always perpendicular to the plane containing the line...
