Orthogonality catastrophe in a composite fermion liquid

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-10-30 v1 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

We discuss the emergence of an orthogonality catastrophe in the response of a composite fermion liquid as the filling factor \nu approaches 1/2m, where m=1,2,3.... A tunneling experiment is proposed in which dramatic changes in the I-V characteristic should be observable as \nu is varied. Explicit I-V characteristics calculated within the so-called Modified Random Phase Approximation, are provided for \nu=1/3 -> \nu=1/2.
