Orbital Lamb shift and mixing of the pseudo-zero-mode Landau levels in
ABC-stacked trilayer graphene
   [PDF]

K. Shizuya
In a magnetic field graphene trilayers support a characteristic multiplet of 12 zero(-energy)-mode Landau levels with a threefold degeneracy in Landau orbitals. It was earlier noted for bilayer graphene that Coulombic vacuum fluctuations, specific to graphene, lift the orbital degeneracy of such zero-energy modes and that these Lamb-shfted" orbital modes, with filling, get mixed via the Coulomb interaction. It is pointed out that analogous orbital Lamb shift and mixing of zero-mode levels can also take place, with an enriched symmetry content, in ABC-stacked trilayer graphene; and its consequences are discussed in the light of experimental results.
