J un 1 99 7 Exclusonic Quasiparticles and Thermodynamics of Fractional Quantum Hall Liquids

چکیده
Quasielectrons and quasiholes in the fractional quantum Hall liquids obey fractional (including nontrivial mutual) exclusion statistics. Their statistics matrix can be determined from several possible state-counting scheme, involving different assumptions on statistical correlations. Thermal activation of quasiparticle pairs and thermodynamic properties of the fractional quantum Hall liquids near fillings 1/m (m odd) at low temperature are studied in the approximation of generalized ideal gas. The existence of hierarchical states in the fractional quantum Hall effect is shown to be a manifestation of the exclusonic nature of the relevant quasiparticles. For magnetic properties, a paramagnetism-diamagnetism transition appears to be possible at finite temperature.

Thermal activation of exclusonic quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect
Quasiparticles of the fractional quantum Hall systems obey fractional (including mutual) exclusion statistics. In this note we study the effects of exclusion statistics on thermal activation of quasiparticle pairs in the approximation of generalized ideal gas. The distribution function for thermally activated quasiparticles is found explicitly for the statistics matrix given by the composite fe...
متن کاملTuning nonlinear charge transport between integer and fractional quantum Hall states.
Controllable point junctions between different quantum Hall phases are a necessary building block for the development of mesoscopic circuits based on fractionally charged quasiparticles. We demonstrate how particle-hole duality can be exploited to realize such point-contact junctions. We show an implementation for the case of two quantum Hall liquids at filling factors nu=1 and nu*<or=1 in whic...
متن کاملA ug 1 99 6 Study of composite fermions : Beyond few particle systems
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...
متن کاملSpectroscopic signatures of crystal momentum fractionalization
We consider gapped Z2 spin liquids, where spinon quasiparticles may carry fractional quantum numbers of space group symmetry. In particular, spinons can carry fractional crystal momentum. We show that such quantum number fractionalization has dramatic, spectroscopically accessible consequences, namely enhanced periodicity of the two-spinon density of states in the Brillouin zone, which can be d...
متن کاملMinimum instances of topological matter in an optical plaquette
Topological matter is an unconventional form of matter 1: it exhibits a global hidden order which is not associated to the spontaneous breaking of any symmetry. The defects of this exotic type of order are anyons, quasiparticles that exhibit fractional statistics. Except for the fractional quantum Hall effect, there is no experimental evidence as to the existence of topologically ordered phases...
