Probing the nonlocality of Landau levels in GaAs quantum wells through modified Purcell factors, Lamb shifts and dipole emitted spectra
In a two dimensional electron gas, a strong perpendicular magnetic field confines electrons to quantized cyclotron orbits, giving rise to Landau levels with discrete orbit radii. Even the smallest Landau orbit, set by the magnetic length, spans tens of nanometers for fields of a few Tesla, imposing an intrinsic nonlocal response to electromagnetic excitations. From a microscopic theory of the nonlocal susceptibili...
