We numerically study the interplay of band structure, topological invariant and disorder effect in two-dimensional electron system of graphene in a magnetic field. Two emph{distinct} quantum Hall effect (QHE) regimes exist in the energy band with the unconventional half-integer QHE appearing near the band center, consistent with the experimental observation. The latter is more robust against disorder scattering than the conventional QHE states near the band edges. The phase diagram for the unconventional QHE is obtained where the destruction of the Hall plateaus at strong disorder is through the float-up of extended levels toward band center and higher plateaus always disappear first. We further predict a new insulating phase between $ u =pm 2$ QHE states at the band center, which may explain the experimentally observed resistance discontinuity near zero gate voltage.

We numerically study the quantum Hall effect (QHE) in bilayer graphene based on tight-binding model in the presence of disorder. Two distinct QHE regimes are identified in the full energy band separated by a critical region with non-quantized Hall Ef
fect. The Hall conductivity around the band center (Dirac point) shows an anomalous quantization proportional to the valley degeneracy, but the $ u=0$ plateau is markedly absent, which is in agreement with experimental observation. In the presence of disorder, the Hall plateaus can be destroyed through the float-up of extended levels toward the band center and higher plateaus disappear first. The central two plateaus around the band center are most robust against disorder scattering, which is separated by a small critical region in between near the Dirac point. The longitudinal conductance around the Dirac point is shown to be nearly a constant in a range of disorder strength, till the last two QHE plateaus completely collapse.
We study the properties of an ultracold Fermi gas loaded in an optical square lattice and subjected to an external and classical non-Abelian gauge field. We show that this system can be exploited as an optical analogue of relativistic quantum electro
dynamics, offering a remarkable route to access the exotic properties of massless Dirac fermions with cold atoms experiments. In particular we show that the underlying Minkowski space-time can also be modified, reaching anisotropic regimes where a remarkable anomalous quantum Hall effect and a squeezed Landau vacuum could be observed.
When electrons are confined in two-dimensional (2D) materials, quantum mechanically enhanced transport phenomena, as exemplified by the quantum Hall effects (QHE), can be observed. Graphene, an isolated single atomic layer of graphite, is an ideal re
alization of such a 2D system. Here, we report an experimental investigation of magneto transport in a high mobility single layer of graphene. Adjusting the chemical potential using the electric field effect, we observe an unusual half integer QHE for both electron and hole carriers in graphene. Vanishing effective carrier masses is observed at Dirac point in the temperature dependent Shubnikov de Haas oscillations, which probe the relativistic Dirac particle-like dispersion. The relevance of Berrys phase to these experiments is confirmed by the phase shift of magneto-oscillations, related to the exceptional topology of the graphene band structure.
We study the quantum Hall effect of Dirac fermions on the surface of a Wilson-Dirac type topological insulator thin film in the strong topological insulating phase. Although a magnetic field breaks time reversal symmetry of the bulk, the surface stat
es can survive even in a strong field regime. We examine how the Landau levels of the surface states are affected by symmetry breaking perturbations.
We investigate integer and half-integer filling states (uniform and unidimensional stripe states respectively) for graphene using the Hartree-Fock approximation. For fixed filling factor, the ratio between the scales of the Coulomb interaction and La
ndau level spacing $g=(e^2/epsilon ell)/(hbar v_F/ell)$, with $ell$ the magnetic length, is a field-independent constant. However, when $B$ decreases, the number of filled negative Landau levels increases, which surprisingly turns out to decrease the amount of Landau level mixing. The resulting states at fixed filling factor $ u$ (for $ u$ not too big) have very little Landau level mixing even at arbitrarily weak magnetic fields. Thus in the density-field phase diagram, many different phases may persist down to the origin, in contrast to the more standard two dimensional electron gas, in which the origin is surrounded by Wigner crystal states. We demonstrate that the stripe amplitudes scale roughly as $B$, so that the density waves ``evaporate continuously as $Bto 0$. Tight-binding calculations give the same scaling for stripe amplitude and demonstrate that the effect is not an artifact of the cutoff procedure used in the continuum calculations.
