• Title: Fermi Level Fluctuations, Reduced Effective Masses and Zeeman Effect during Quantum Oscillations in Nodal Line Semimetals
• Authors: Satyaki Kar and Anupam Saha
• Abstract summary: We report the characteristics of the Landau level spectra and the fluctuations in the Fermi level as the field in a direction perpendicular to the nodal plane is varied through. We find that the density of states which show series of peaks in succession, witness bifurcation of those peaks due to Zeeman effect.

• Abstract: We probe quantum oscillations in nodal line semimetals (NLSM) by considering a NLSM continuum model under strong magnetic field and report the characteristics of the Landau level spectra and the fluctuations in the Fermi level as the field in a direction perpendicular to the nodal plane is varied through. Based on the results on parallel magnetization, we demonstrate the growth of quantum oscillation with field strength as well as its constancy in period when plotted against 1/B. We find that the density of states which show series of peaks in succession, witness bifurcation of those peaks due to Zeeman effect. For field normal to nodal plane, such bifurcations are discernible only if the electron effective mass is considerably smaller than its free value, which usually happens in these systems. Though a reduced effective mass $m^*$ causes the Zeeman splitting to become small compared to Landau level spacing, experimental results indicate a manyfold increase in the Lande $g$ factor which again amplifies the Zeeman contribution. We also consider magnetic field in the nodal plane for which the density of state peaks do not repeat periodically with energy anymore. The spectra become more spread out and the Zeeman splittings become less prominent. We find the low energy topological regime, that appears with such in-plane field set up, to shrink further with reduced $m^*$ values. However, such topological regime can be stretched out in case there are smaller Fermi velocities for electrons in the direction normal to the nodal plane.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.

  We demonstrate that the finiteness of the limiting values of the lower energy levels of a hydrogen atom under an unrestricted growth of the magnetic field is achieved already. We study the effective potential that appears when the adiabatic (diagonal) approximation is exploited for solving the Schr"odinger equation. We find that the (effective) potential of a point-like charge remains nonsingular thanks to the growing screening provided by VP.

• Geometric phase of very slow neutrons [0.0]
  The geometric phase acquired by a neutron passing through a uniform magnetic field elucidates a subtle interplay between its spatial and spin degrees of freedom. In the standard setup using thermal neutrons, the kinetic energy is much larger than the typical Zeeman split. This causes the spin to undergo nearly perfect precession around the axis of the magnetic field and the GP becomes a function only of the corresponding cone angle.

We also find a time-domain where the particle density of the point source is governed by the propagation of a main wavefront. The relative positions of these wavefronts are used to investigate the time-delay of quantum waves in the Klein-tunneling regime.
