Spin density wave formation in graphene facilitated by the in-plane magnetic field

ORAL

Abstract

We suggest that by applying a magnetic field lying in the plane of graphene layer one may facilitate an excitonic condensation of electron-hole pairs with opposite spins and chiralities. The provided calculations yield a conservative estimate for the transition temperature $T_c \sim 0.1~ B$.
