The Wigner crystal of composite fermions is a strongly correlated state of complex emergent particles, and therefore its unambiguous detection would be of significant importance. Recent observation of optical resonances in the vicinity of…
Long-range interactions can qualitatively reorganize correlated-electron ground states. In the square-lattice Hubbard model, on-site repulsion produces antiferromagnetic spin and charge stripes upon doping. We show that including a…
