A Simulator for Landau Level Fan Chart

Background Landau level In solid-state physics, the famous band theory describes how electrons are distributed favorably over energy and momentum in electronic materials. The states (energy, momentum, spin and etc.) of electrons collectively form an electronic band structure. When subjecting to a magnetic field, these electronic states would shift in energy according to its interactive terms with the field. As this field gets very strong, the interactive term (orbital contribution) becomes dominant and start to form dense bands with narrow energy dispersion (A lot of states have almost the same energy). These bands are also energetically discrete and referred to as “Landau level”. ...
