| contents | The Coulomb impurity problem of graphene, in the absence of a magnetic field, displays discrete scale invariance. Applying a magnetic field introduces a new magnetic length scale $\ell$ and breaks discrete scale invariance. Moreover, a magnetic field is a singular perturbation as it turns complex energies into real energies. Nonetheless, the Coulomb potential must be regularized with a length $R$ at short distances for supercritical impurities. We investigate the structure of the induced density of a filled Landau impurity band in the supercritical regime. The coupling between Landau level states by the impurity potential is nontrivial and can lead to several anomalous effects. First, we find that the peak in the induced density can be located away from the center of the impurity, depending on the characteristics of the Landau impurity bands. Second, the impurity charge is screened, despite the Landau impurity band being filled. Third, anticrossing impurity states lead to additional impurity cyclotron resonances. |
