Fractional quantum Hall states in charge- imbalanced bilayer systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the fractional quantum Hall effect in a bilayer with charge-distribution imbalance induced, for instance, by a bias gate voltage. The bilayer can either be intrinsic or it can be formed spontaneously in wide quantum wells, due to the Coulomb repulsion between electrons. We focus on fractional quantum Hall effect in asymmetric bilayer systems at filling factor ν = 4/11 and show that an asymmetric Halperin-like trial wavefunction gives a valid description of the ground state of the system.

Helical edge states and fractional quantum Hall effect in a graphene electron-hole bilayer.
Helical 1D electronic systems are a promising route towards realizing circuits of topological quantum states that exhibit non-Abelian statistics. Here, we demonstrate a versatile platform to realize 1D systems made by combining quantum Hall (QH) edge states of opposite chiralities in a graphene electron-hole bilayer at moderate magnetic fields. Using this approach, we engineer helical 1D edge c...
متن کاملGapless layered three-dimensional fractional quantum Hall states
Using the parton construction, we build a three-dimensional 3D multilayer fractional quantum Hall state with average filling =1 /3 per layer that is qualitatively distinct from a stacking of weakly coupled Laughlin states. The state supports gapped charge e /3 fermionic quasiparticles that can propagate both within and between the layers, in contrast to the quasiparticles in a multilayer Laughl...
متن کاملRobust fractional quantum Hall effect in the N=2 Landau level in bilayer graphene
The fractional quantum Hall effect is a canonical example of electron-electron interactions producing new ground states in many-body systems. Most fractional quantum Hall studies have focussed on the lowest Landau level, whose fractional states are successfully explained by the composite fermion model. In the widely studied GaAs-based system, the composite fermion picture is thought to become u...
متن کاملFractional quantum Hall effect in multicomponent systems THÈSE
We study a number of fractional quantum Hall systems, such as quantum Hall bilayers, wide quantum wells or graphene, where underlying multicomponent degrees of freedom lead to the novel physical phenomena. In the quantum Hall bilayer at the filling factor ν = 1 we study mixed composite boson-composite fermion trial wave functions in order to describe the disordering of the exciton superfluid as...
