2 00 1 Effective action for quantum Hall skyrmions
نویسنده
چکیده
Recently, an O(3) type of effective action was presented for the quantum Hall ferromagnet, which accounts for bag formation observed in microscopic Hartree-Fock calculations. We apply this action in the soliton sector and compare with Hartree-Fock results. We find good agreement over the whole parameter range where skyrmions exist. The standard minimal O(3) model cannot explain the bag and has further shortcomings connected with that fact.

Hopf invariant for long-wavelength skyrmions in quantum Hall systems for integer and fractional fillings
We show that a Hopf term exists in the effective action of long-wavelength skyrmions in quantum Hall systems for both odd integer and fractional filling factors ν = 1/(2s + 1), where s is an integer. We evaluate the prefactor of the Hopf term using Green function method in the limit of strong external magnetic field using model of local interaction. The prefactor (N) of the Hopf term is found t...
متن کاملA microscopic theory of skyrmion excitations in the fractional quantum Hall system
Charged spin textures known as skyrmions in the quantum Hall system have been of great interest. In the limit of weak Zeeman coupling, it was predicted that the lowest energy excitations around filling factor ν = 1/M with odd integer M are skyrmions [1]. Recent experiments demonstrated the existence of skyrmions for ν near 1 in two-dimensional electron systems [2, 3, 4]. Since the skyrmion size...

Near to filling fraction ν = 1, the quantum Hall ferromagnet contains multiple Skyrmion spin excitations. This multi-Skyrmion system has a tremendously rich quantum-critical structure. This is simplified when Skyrmions are pinned by disorder. We calculate the nuclear relaxation rate in this case and compare the result with experiment. We discus how such measurements may be used to further probe...
متن کاملStatistics of skyrmions in quantum Hall systems.
We analyze statistical interactions of skyrmions in the quantum Hall system near a critical filling fraction in the framework of the Ginzburg-Landau model. The phase picked up by the wave-function during an exchange of two skyrmions close to ν = 1/(2n + 1) is π[S + 1/2(2n + 1)], where S is the skyrmion’s spin. In the same setting an exchange of two fully polarized vortices gives rise to the pha...
متن کاملSkyrmions in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
It is verified that, at small Zeeman energies, the charged excitations in the vicinity of 1/3 filled Landau level are skyrmions of composite fermions, analogous to the skyrmions of electrons near filling factor unity. These are found to be relevant, however, only at very low magnetic fields. PACS numbers: 73.40.Hm Typeset using REVTEX 0Accepted for publication in Solid State Communications (199...
