Magnetoplasmons and SU(4) symmetry in graphene

We study magnetoplasmons or neutral collective excitations of graphene in a strong perpendicular magnetic field, which can be modelled as bound electron-hole pairs. The SU(4) symmetry of graphene arising from spin and valley pseudospin degrees of freedom is explored using Young diagrams to correctly predict the degeneracies of these excitations. The multiplet structure of the states is identical to that of mesons composed of first and second generation quarks.

Symmetry Content and Observation of Charged Collective Excitations for Graphene in Strong Magnetic Fields

We show that graphene in a strong magnetic field with partially filled Landau levels sustains charged collective excitations, which are bound states of three-particle complexes. Some of these states are optically bright and may be detected in spectroscopy experiments, enhancing the current understanding of electron-electron interactions in graphene. The states can be classified using the geometrical symmetries - non-commutative magnetic translations and generalized rotations - in addition to the dynamical SU(4) symmetry in graphene. From the SU(4) symmetry point of view, such excitations are analogous to bound states of two quarks and one antiquark qqqbar with four flavors. We establish a flavor optical selection rule to identify the bright states for experimental studies.
