c
The radial factor
rnexp(−4ℏeBr2​)
(1)
is sharply peaked, for large n, near
rn2​=eB2ℏn​.
(2)
Requiring the orbit to lie inside a disk of radius R permits
0≤n≲2ℏeBR2​.
(3)
Thus the total degeneracy at fixed kz​ is, up to the negligible boundary correction,
D=2ℏeBR2​​.
(4)
Since the disk has area πR2, the degeneracy of a Landau level per unit area is
πR2D​=2πℏeB​​.
(5)
For either sign of the charge-field product, replace eB by ∣eB∣.
