The quantum levels are created with up and down spins with opposite chirality and leads to the quantum spin Hall effect.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-10-30T07:48:31.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "71.70.Ej", "71.70.Di", "72.25.Dc" ], "keywords": [ "quantum spin hall effect", "non-abelian spin-orbit gauge field strength", "landau level problem", "abelian field strengths" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters A", "year": 2008, "month": "Dec", "volume": 373, "number": 1, "pages": 148 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhLA..373..148B" } } }
