Description
Summary:In this work the role of magnetic Landau quantization in the dynamics and spectrum of diced lattice charge carriers is studied in terms of the associated pseudospin 1 Green's function. The equations of motion for the 9 matrix elements of this Green's function are formulated in position/frequency representation and are solved explicitly in terms of a closed form integral representation involving only elementary functions. The latter is subsequently expanded in a Laguerre eigenfunction series whose frequency poles identify the discretized energy spectrum for the Landau-quantized diced lattice as ϵn=±2(2n+1)α2eB (α2 is the characteristic speed for the diced lattice) which differs significantly from the nonrelativistic linear dependence of ϵn on B, and is similar to the corresponding B− dependence of other Dirac materials (graphene, group VI dichalcogenides).
