摘要
We study electrons moving in a magnetic field in the presence of a screw dislocation. We focus on the influence of the screw dislocation on the energy spectrum of the electron (or hole) in the magnetic field, in a continuum theory of defects that is isomorphic to three-dimensional gravity. We find exact expressions for the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the energy and verify that the infinite degeneracy of the Landau levels is broken by the unusual boundary conditions imposed by the defect.
