Abstract

We consider tunneling through two point contacts between two edges of Quantum Hall liquids of different filling factors ν0,1=1/(2m0,1+1)\nu_{0,1}=1/ (2m_{0,1}+1) with m0m1m>0m_0-m_1\equiv m>0. Properties of the antidot formed between the point contacts in the strong-tunneling limit are shown to be very different from the ν0=ν1\nu_0 =\nu_1 case, and include vanishing average total current in the two contacts and quasiparticles of charge e/me/m. For m>1m>1, quasiparticle tunneling leads to non-trivial mm-state dynamics of effective flux through the antidot which restores the regular ``electron'' periodicity of the current in flux despite the fractional charge and statistics of quasiparticles.
