In organic light emitting diodes with small area the current may be dominated by a finite number, N of sites in which the electron-hole recombination occurs. As a result, averaging over the hyperfine magnetic fields, b_h, that are generated in these
sites by the environment nuclei is incomplete. This creates a random (mesoscopic) current component, {Delta}I(B), at field B having relative magnitude ~ N^(-1/2). To quantify the statistical properties of {Delta}I(B) we calculate the correlator K(B, {Delta}B)= <{delta}I(B - {Delta}B/2){delta}I(B + {Delta}B/2)> for parallel and perpendicular orientations of {Delta}B. We demonstrate that mesoscopic fluctuations develop at fields B>>b_h, where the average magnetoresistance is near saturation. These fluctuations originate from the slow beating between S and T_0 states of the recombining e-h spin pair-partners. We identify the most relevant processes responsible for the current fluctuations as due to anomalously slow beatings that develop in sparse e-h polaron pairs at sites for which the b_h projections on the external field direction almost coincide.
Motivated by recent high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments in the quantum Hall regime both on massive two-dimensional electron gas and on graphene, we consider theoretically the disorder averaged nonlocal correlations of the
local density of states (LDoS) for electrons moving in a smooth disordered potential in the presence of a high magnetic field. The intersection of two quantum cyclotron rings around the two different positions of the STM tip, correlated by the local disorder, provides peaks in the spatial dispersion of the LDoS-LDoS correlations when the intertip distance matches the sum of the two quantum Larmor radii. The energy dependence displays also complex behavior: for the local LDoS-LDoS average (i.e., at coinciding tip positions), sharp positive correlations are obtained for tip voltages near Landau level, and weak anticorrelations otherwise.
We consider a clean two-dimensional interacting electron gas subject to a random perpendicular magnetic field, h({bf r}). The field is nonquantizing, in the sense, that {cal N}_h-a typical flux into the area lambda_{text{tiny F}}^2 in the units of th
e flux quantum (lambda_{text{tiny F}} is the de Broglie wavelength) is small, {cal N}_hll 1. If the spacial scale, xi, of change of h({bf r}) is much larger than lambda_{text{tiny F}}, the electrons move along semiclassical trajectories. We demonstrate that a weak field-induced curving of the trajectories affects the interaction-induced electron lifetime in a singular fashion: it gives rise to the correction to the lifetime with a very sharp energy dependence. The correction persists within the interval omega sim omega_0= E_{text{tiny F}}{cal N}_h^{2/3} much smaller than the Fermi energy, E_{text{tiny F}}. It emerges in the third order in the interaction strength; the underlying physics is that a small phase volume sim (omega/E_{text{tiny F}})^{1/2} for scattering processes, involving {em two} electron-hole pairs, is suppressed by curving. Even more surprising effect that we find is that {em disorder-averaged} interaction correction to the density of states, delta u(omega), exhibits {em oscillatory} behavior, periodic in bigl(omega/omega_0bigr)^{3/2}. In our calculations of interaction corrections random field is incorporated via the phases of the Green functions in the coordinate space. We discuss the relevance of the new low-energy scale for realizations of a smooth random field in composite fermions and in disordered phase of spin-fermion model of ferromagnetic quantum criticality.
We study the magnetoresistance, deltarho_{xx}(B)/rho_0, of a high-mobility 2D electron gas in the domain of magnetic fields, B, intermediate between the weak localization and the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, where deltarho_{xx}(B)/rho_0 is governe
d by the interaction effects. Assuming short-range impurity scattering, we demonstrate that in the {em second order} in the interaction parameter, $lambda$, a {em linear} B-dependence, deltarho_{xx}(B)/rho_0sim lambda^2omega_c/E_F with {em temperature-independent} slope emerges in this domain of B (here omega_c and E_F are the cyclotron frequency and the Fermi energy, respectively). Unlike previous mechanisms, the linear magnetoresistance is {em unrelated} to the electron executing the full Larmour circle, but rather originates from the impurity scattering via the B-dependence of the {em phase} of the impurity-induced Friedel oscillations.
Electron-electron interactions give rise to the correction, deltasigma^{int}(omega), to the ac magnetoconductivity, sigma(omega), of a clean 2D electron gas that is periodic in omega_c^{-1}, where omega_c is the cyclotron frequency. Unlike convention
al harmonics of the cyclotron resonance, which are periodic with omega, this correction is periodic with omega^{3/2}. Oscillations in deltasigma^{int}(omega) develop at low magnetic fields, omega_cllomega, when the conventional harmonics are suppressed by the disorder. Their origin is a {em double} backscattering of an electron from the impurity-induced Friedel oscillations. During the time simomega^{-1} between the two backscattering events the electron travels only a {em small portion} of the Larmour circle.
