Abstract

ABSTRACTMolecular dynamics simulations are used to examine the effect of a uniform perpendicular magnetic field on a two-dimensional (2D) interacting electron system and we analyze how the magnetic field affects the single-particle properties of the system. In this simulation, we include the effect of the magnetic field classically through the Lorentz force. Both the Coulomb interaction and the magnetic field are included directly in the electron dynamics to study their combined effect on the transport properties of the 2D system. Results are presented for the pair correlation function, the mean square displacement and the density correlation function, in the presence and absence of an external magnetic field. Our simulation results, obtained from a first-principles calculation, clearly show that the external magnetic field has no effect on the static properties, but it affects the dynamics.
