Adiabatic Charge Transport and the Kubo Formula for Landau Type Hamiltonians

Mathematical Physics 2007-05-23 v2 Functional Analysis math.MP

Abstract

The adiabatic charge transport is investigated in a two dimensional Landau model perturbed by a bounded potential at zero temperature. We show that if the Fermi level lies in a spectral gap then in the adiabatic limit the accumulated excess Hall transport is given by the linear response Kubo-Streda formula. The proof relies on the expansion of Nenciu, some generalized phase space estimates, and a bound on the speed of propagation.
