Spin-flip and spin-wave excitations in arbitrarily polarized quantum Hall states
نویسنده
چکیده
We study spin-flip and spin-wave excitations for arbitrarily polarized quantum Hall states by employing a fermionic Chern-Simons gauge theory in the low Zeeman energy limit. We show that the spin-flip correlation functions do not get renormalized by the fluctuations of Chern-Simons gauge field. As a consequence, the excitations for a given integer quantum Hall state are identical to fractional quantum Hall states in the lowest Landau level having the same numerator equal to the integer quantum Hall state. Fully and partially polarized states possess only spin-wave excitations while spin-flip excitations are possible for all states, irrespective of their polarizations.

Manipulation of a Nuclear Spin by a Magnetic Domain Wall in a Quantum Hall Ferromagnet
The manipulation of a nuclear spin by an electron spin requires the energy to flip the electron spin to be vanishingly small. This can be realized in a many electron system with degenerate ground states of opposite spin polarization in different Landau levels. We present here a microscopic theory of a domain wall between spin unpolarized and spin polarized quantum Hall ferromagnet states at fil...
متن کاملSingle Particle and Collective Spin Excitations in Semimagnetic Quantum Wells
Collective and single-particle spin-flip excitations of a two-dimensional electron gas in a semimagnetic Cd1−xMnxTe quantum well are observed by resonant Raman scattering. Application of a magnetic field splits the spin-subbands and a spin-polarization is induced in the electron gas. Above some critical field, a collective spin-flip mode, which disperses with in-plane wave vector, dominates the...
متن کاملSpin excitations of the spin-polarized electron gas in semimagnetic quantum wells.
Collective and single-particle spin-flip excitations of a two-dimensional electron gas in a semimagnetic Cd(1-x)Mn(x)Te quantum well are observed by resonant Raman scattering. Application of a magnetic field splits the spin subbands and a spin polarization is induced in the electron gas. Above 1 T the collective modes, which disperse with the in-plane wave vector, dominate the spectra. The loca...
متن کاملComposite fermion theory of excitations in the fractional quantum Hall effect
Transport experiments are sensitive to charged ‘quasiparticle’ excitations of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Inelastic Raman scattering experiments have probed an amazing variety of other excitations: excitons, rotons, bi-rotons, trions, flavor altering excitons, spin waves, spin-flip excitons, and spin-flip rotons. This paper reviews the status of our theoretical understanding of these ex...
متن کاملCharged spin textures over the Moore–Read quantum Hall state
We study charged spin textures (CSTs) over the Moore–Read quantum Hall state at filling factor 5/2. We develop an algebraic framework and show that the pairing condition that is inherent in the Moore–Read state naturally leads to a class of CST, labeled by winding numbers [wI, wII]. The fundamental CSTs, with labels [1, 0] and electric charge e/4, is identified with the polar core vortex known ...
