6 Parallel Magnetic Field For surface Dirac fermions, Zeeman field acts like the vector potential: kk σσ kk + ggμμ BB HH σσ Dirac Hamiltonian HH = vv FF kk σσ = vv FF 0 kk xx iikk yy kk xx + iikk yy 0 k y k x H HH = vv FF kk + ggμμ BB HH σσ = vv FF mm zz kk xx +mm xx ii(kk yy +mm yy ) kk xx +mm xx +ii(kk yy +mm yy ) mm zz Parallel magnetic field does not open a gap, and its effect can be gauged away by a simple shift of the frame. To first order, there is no effect on surface transport properties. k y H k x '
