Strong magnetic fields quench the kinetic energy of electrons, leading to the formation of flat energy bands, known as Landau levels (LLs). In this situation, even weak interactions can drive the emergence of various ordered phases. The…

We consider the motion of electrons confined to a two dimensional plane with an externally applied perpendicular inhomogeneous magnetic field, both with and without a Coulomb potential. We find that as long as the magnetic field is…
