We study the minimizers of the Ginzburg-Landau energy functional with a constant magnetic field in a three dimensional bounded domain. The functional depends on two positive parameters, the Ginzburg-Landau parameter and the intensity of the…
We investigate the two-dimensional motion of relativistic cold electrons in the presence of `strictly' spatially varying magnetic fields satisfying, however, no magnetic monopole condition. We find that the degeneracy of Landau levels,…
We use the Kubo formalism to calculate the transresistivity $\rho_{21}$ for carriers in coupled quantum wells in a large perpendicular magnetic field $B$. We find that $\rho_{21}$ is enhanced by approximately 50--100 times over that of the…
