Bounds on Lorentz-violating parameters in magnetically confined 2D systems: A phenomenological approach
Abstract
We present a unified, SI-consistent framework to constrain minimal SME coefficients and using magnetically confined two-dimensional electron systems under a uniform magnetic field. Working in the nonrelativistic (Schr\"odinger--Pauli) limit with effective mass, we derive the radial problem for cylindrical geometries and identify how spatial components () reshape the effective potential, via and terms or spin-selective offsets, while scalar components () act through a global energy shift and a spin-momentum coupling. Phenomenological upper bounds follow from requiring LV-induced shifts to lie below typical spectroscopic resolutions: , , and compact expressions for and that expose their dependence on device scales (, , , ). Dimensional analysis clarifies that, in this regime, spatial carry momentum dimension and carry inverse-time/length dimensions, ensuring gauge-independent, unit-consistent reporting. Finite-difference eigenvalue calculations validate the scaling laws and illustrate spectral signatures across realistic parameter sets. The results show that scalar sectors (notably ) are tightly constrained by state-of-the-art eV-resolution probes, while spatial and axial sectors benefit from spin- and -resolved spectroscopy and geometric leverage, providing a reproducible pathway to test Lorentz symmetry in condensed-matter platforms.
