Hierarchical Wigner Crystal at the Edge of Quantum Hall Bar
نویسنده
چکیده
We show that quasiholes persist near the edge of incompressible Quantum Hall state forming a Wigner structure. The average density of quasiholes is fixed by electrostatics and decreases slowly with increasing distance from the edge. As we see from elementary reasoning, their specific arrangement can not be a regular Wigner lattice and shows a complex hierarchical structure of

Fractional quantum Hall effect and Wigner crystal of interacting composite fermions.
In two-dimensional electron systems confined to GaAs quantum wells, as a function of either tilting the sample in a magnetic field or increasing density, we observe multiple spin-polarization transitions of the fractional quantum Hall states at filling factors ν=4/5 and 5/7. The number of observed transitions provides evidence that these are fractional quantum Hall states of interacting two-flu...
متن کاملCrystalline character of high-magnetic-field cusp states in quantum dots
Conditional probability distributions from exact diagonalization are used to investigate the crystalline or liquid character of the downward cusp states in parabolic quantum dots (QD’s) at high magnetic fields. These states are crystalline in character for fractional fillings covering both low and high values, unlike the liquid Jastrow-Laughlin wave functions, but in remarkable agreement with t...
متن کاملQuantum correlated interstitials and the Hall resistivity of the magnetically induced Wigner crystal.
We study a trial wavefunction for an interstitial in a Wigner crystal. We find that the electron correlations, ignored in a conventional Hartree-Fock treatment, dramatically lower the interstitial energy, especially at fillings close to an incompressible liquid state. The correlation between the interstitial electron and the lattice electrons at ν < 1/m is introduced by constructing a trial wav...
متن کاملFormula for the widths of the plateaus of the quantum Hall effect
We derive an empirical formula for the width of quantum Hall effect plateaus which is free of adjustable parameters. It describes the integer, fractional and ν = 0 (Wigner insulator) quantum Hall effect in single heterojunctions. The temperature scale of the existence of these three phenomena is the same as the melting temperature of a classical Wigner crystal. We conclude that the basic assump...
متن کاملCompetition between a fractional quantum hall liquid and bubble and Wigner crystal phases in the third Landau level.
Magnetotransport measurements were performed in an ultrahigh mobility GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well of density approximately 3.0 x 10(11) cm(-2). The temperature dependence of the magnetoresistance Rxx was studied in detail in the vicinity of nu=9/2. In particular, we discovered new minima in Rxx at a filling factor nu approximately 41/5 and 44/5, but only at intermediate temperatures 80 approximate...
