Second Generation of Composite Fermions and the Self-Similarity of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
A recently developed model of interacting composite fermions, is used to investigate different composite-fermion phases. Their interaction potential allows for the formation of both solid and new quantum-liquid phases, which are interpreted in terms of second-generation composite fermions and which may be responsible for the fractional quantum Hall states observed at unusual filling factors, such as ν = 4/11. Projection of the composite-fermion dynamics to a single level, involved in the derivation of the Hamiltonian of interacting composite fermions, reveals the underlying self-similarity of the model.

Structures for interacting composite fermions: Stripes, bubbles, and fractional quantum Hall effect
Much of the present day qualitative phenomenology of the fractional quantum Hall effect can be understood by neglecting the interactions between composite fermions altogether. For example, the fractional quantum Hall effect at n5n/(2pn61) corresponds to filled composite-fermion Landau levels, and the compressible state at n51/2p to the Fermi sea of composite fermions. Away from these filling fa...

Twoand three-body correlation functions (number of pairs or triplets vs. relative angular momentum) of electrons or Laughlin quasielectrons (i.e., composite fermions in their first excited Landau level) are studied numerically in several fractional quantum Hall liquids. It is shown directly that the νe = 4/11 liquid (corresponding to a ν = 1/3 filling of composite fermions in their first excite...
متن کاملOn the self-similarity in quantum Hall systems
– The Hall-resistance curve of a two-dimensional electron system in the presence of a strong perpendicular magnetic field is an example of self-similarity. It reveals plateaus at low temperatures and has a fractal structure. We show that this fractal structure emerges naturally in the Hamiltonian formulation of composite fermions. After a set of transformations on the electronic model, we show ...
متن کاملFractional quantum Hall effect and Wigner crystal of interacting composite fermions.
In two-dimensional electron systems confined to GaAs quantum wells, as a function of either tilting the sample in a magnetic field or increasing density, we observe multiple spin-polarization transitions of the fractional quantum Hall states at filling factors ν=4/5 and 5/7. The number of observed transitions provides evidence that these are fractional quantum Hall states of interacting two-flu...

We construct a new representation of composite fermion wave functions in the lowest Landau level which enables Monte Carlo computations at arbitrary filling factors for a fairly large number of composite fermions, thus clearing the way toward a more detailed quantitative investigation of the fractional quantum Hall effect. As an illustrative application, thermodynamic estimates for the transpor...
