Composite fermions have played a seminal role in understanding the quantum Hall effect, particularly the formation of a compressible `composite Fermi liquid' (CFL) at filling factor nu = 1/2. Here we suggest that in multi-layer systems…
By strictly adhering to the microscopic theory of composite fermions (CFs) for the Landau-level filling fractions \nu_e = p/(2 p + 1), we reproduce, with remarkable accuracy, the surface-acoustic-wave (SAW)-based experimental results by…
We derive the effective Hamiltonian for the composite fermion in double-layer quantum Hall systems with inter-layer tunneling at total Landau-level filling factor $\nu=1/m$, where $m$ is an integer. We find that the ground state is the…
It has long been puzzling that fractional quantum Hall states in the first excited Landau level (1LL) often differ significantly from their counterparts in the lowest Landau level. We show that the dispersion of composite fermions (CFs) is…

The particle-hole (PH) symmetry of {\em electrons} is an exact symmetry of the electronic Hamiltonian confined to a specific Landau level, and its interplay with the formation of composite fermions has attracted much attention of late. This…

We consider the self-energy and quasiparticle spectrum, for both electrons interacting with phonons, and composite fermions interacting with gauge fluctuations. In both cases we incorporate the singular structure arising from Landau level…
Half-filled Landau levels host an emergent Fermi-liquid which displays an instability towards pairing, culminating in a gapped even-denominator fractional quantum Hall ground state. While this pairing may be probed by tuning the…
We review the recently proposed Dirac composite fermion theory of the half-filled Landau level.
Single-component fractional quantum Hall states (FQHSs) at even-denominator filling factors may host non-Abelian quasiparticles that are considered to be building blocks of topological quantum computers. Such states, however, are rarely…
One of the most successful theories of a non-Fermi liquid metallic state is the composite Fermi liquid (CFL) theory of the half-filled Landau level. In this paper, we study continuous quantum phase transitions out of the CFL state and into…
In a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well of electron density 1x10^{11} cm^{-2} we observe a fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) at filling factors nu=4/11, and 5/13, and weaker states at nu=6/17, 4/13, 5/17 and 7/11. These sequences of fractions do…
Composite fermions (CFs), exotic quasi-particles formed by pairing an electron and an even number of magnetic flux quanta emerge at high magnetic fields in an interacting electron system, and can explain phenomena such as the fractional…
We consider the two lowest Landau levels at half filling. In the higher Landau level (nu =5/2), we find a first order phase transition separating a compressible striped phase from a paired quantum Hall state, which is identified as the…
The composite fermion (CF) theory gives both a phenomenological description for many fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states, as well as a microscopic construction for large scale numerical calculation of these topological phases. The…

We develop a vortex metal theory for partial filled Landau Level at $\nu=\frac{1}{2n}$, whose ground state contains a composite Fermi surface(FS) formed by the vortex of electrons. In the projected Landau Level limit, the composite Fermi…
The flux quanta attachment to the electrons creates composite fermions (CFs). The mass, the size and the density of the CF are inconsistent with real material. The sequence of fractional charges which suggest formation of CF agrees with the…
