Description
Hidalgo wrote this physics paper, published in 2025. It extends a single-electron theory of the quantum Hall effect, the eerie staircase in a material's sideways conductance, from flat two-dimensional systems into three-dimensional semimetals.
The earlier version explained graphene's odd plateau sequence from energy levels formed in a magnetic field. The new framework generalizes that machinery to bulk materials with few, fast charge carriers. Using a summation method, the author derives how the density of states behaves in a field, including level broadening, spin splitting, and heat damping. The model reproduces both the wiggles seen as fields sweep and the quantized Hall plateaus themselves. The quantized values match experimental reports of 3D quantum Hall states. The author offers one description spanning dimensions, naming the knobs that govern the effect.
