Magnetophonon shakeup in a Wigner crystal: Applications to tunneling spectroscopy in the quantum Hall regime.
We calculate the tunnel current between two parallel two-dimensional electron systems in a strong perpendicular magnetic field. We model the strongly correlated electron systems by Wigner crystals, and describe their low-energy dynamics in terms of magnetophonons. A tunneling electron shakes up magnetophonons, which results in a conductance peak that is displaced away from zero voltage and broadened compared with the case of no magnetic field. Our results are in very good quantitative agreement with recent experiments
