Unconventional Filling Factor 4/11: A Closed-Form Ground State Wave Function

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2021-06-22 v2 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

The ground state at 4/11 filling factor is very well understood [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 016801 (2014)] in terms of the 1/3 filled second effective Landau level of the composite fermions whose correlations resemble with that of electrons in the ground state of two-body Haldane pseudo-potential of relative angular momentum 3, V3V_3. We here propose a closed-form ground state wave function for V3V_3 at 1/3 filling factor. We successfully compare it with the exact wave function for the systems with a few electrons, by calculating their mutual overlap, pair-correlation function, and entanglement spectra. By numerical exact diagonalization for a few electron systems, we find a window of nonzero V3V_3 is essential together with V1V_1 for being 4/11 state incompressible. The constructed wave function for 4/11 state using this proposed wave function has satisfactorily high overlap with the previously studied composite-fermion-diagonalized ground state wave function.
