Numerical study of quantum Hall effect in two-dimensional multi-band system: Single- and multi-layer graphene

Abstract

The Chern numbers which correspond to quantized Hall conductance σ xy were calculated for single- and bi-layer honeycomb lattices. The quantization of σ xy occurs in entire energy range. Several large jumps of Chern numbers appear at van-Hove singularities of energy bands without magnetic fields. The plateaux of σ xy are discussed from semi-classical quantization.
