Angular Momentum Distribution Function of the Laughlin Droplet
نویسندگان
چکیده
We have evaluated the angular-momentum distribution functions for finite numbers of electrons in Laughlin states. For very small numbers of electrons the angular-momentum state occupation numbers have been evaluated exactly while for larger numbers of electrons they have been obtained from Monte-Carlo estimates of the one-particle density matrix. An exact relationship , valid for any number of electrons, has been derived for the ratio of the occupation numbers of the two outermost orbitals of the Laughlin droplet and is used to test the accuracy of the Monte-Carlo calculations. We compare the occupation numbers near the outer edges of the droplets with predictions based on the chiral Luttinger liquid picture of Laughlin state edges and discuss the surprisingly large oscillations in occupation numbers which occur for angular momenta far from the edge.

Evaporative cooling of helium nanodroplets with angular momentum conservation.
Evaporative cooling of helium nanodroplets is studied with a statistical rate model that includes, for the first time, angular momentum conservation. While the final temperature of the droplets is almost identical to that previously predicted and later observed, the distribution of total droplet energy and angular momentum states is vastly more excited than a canonical distribution at the same ...
متن کاملMicrocanonical Thermodynamic Properties of Helium Nanodroplets
Abstract The density of states and other thermodynamic functions of helium nanodroplets are calculated for a microcanonical ensemble with both energy and total angular momentum treated as conserved quantum numbers. These functions allow angular momentum conserving evaporative cooling simulations. As part of this project, a recursion relationship is derived for the reduction to irreducible repre...
متن کاملFractional Charge in Quantum Hall effect
In 1976 Jackiw and Rebbi found 1/2 of a fermion number by using Dirac equation. Schrieffer, in several proposals made an effort to suggest that there is a fractional charge. The calculations of Peierls distortion, Berry’s phase and classical action were presented to accomodate the fractional charge in non-relativistic theory. Laughlin used the antisymmetry to define the charge density per unit ...
متن کاملBias in the temperature of helium nanodroplets measured by an embedded rotor.
The rovibrational spectra of molecules dissolved in liquid 4He nanodroplets display rotational structure. Where resolved, this structure has been used to determine a temperature that has been assumed to equal that of the intrinsic excitations of the helium droplets containing the molecules. Consideration of the density of states as a function of energy and total angular momentum demonstrates th...
متن کاملComposite Fermions and quantum Hall systems: Role of the Coulomb pseudopotential
The mean field composite Fermion (CF) picture successfully predicts angular momenta of multiplets forming the lowest energy band in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems. This success cannot be attributed to a cancellation between Coulomb and Chern–Simons interactions beyond the mean field, because these interactions have totally different energy scales. Rather, it results from the behavior of ...
