The multiple-spin exchange frequencies of the bilayer Wigner crystal are determined by the semiclassical method, which is asymptotically exact in the limit of dilute electron densities. The evolution of the exchange frequencies with…

It is generally believed that a Wigner Crystal in single layer graphene can not form because the magnitudes of the Coulomb interaction and the kinetic energy scale similarly with decreasing electron density. However, this scaling argument…
