Landau level broadening mechanisms in electrically neutral and quasineutral graphene were investigated through micro-magneto-Raman experiments in three different samples, namely, a natural single-layer graphene flake and a back-gated…

We formulate non-Hermitian Landau levels in two-dimensional systems under a complex perpendicular magnetic field. In the symmetric gauge, we derive their discretely spaced, highly degenerate complex spectra and biorthogonal eigenstates, and…
