Magnetotransport properties are investigated in a high-mobility two-dimensional electron system in the strained Si quantum well of a (100) Si_0.75Ge_0.25/Si/Si_0.75Ge_0.25 heterostructure, at temperatures down to 30mK and in magnetic fields…
The fractional quantum Hall states are non-Fermi liquids of electrons, in that their ground states and low energy excitations are described not in terms of electrons but in terms of composite fermions which are bound states of electrons and…

A set of scalar operators are employed to generate explicit representations of both hierarchy states (e.g., the series of fillings 1/3, 2/5, 3/7, ... ) and their conjugates (fillings 1, 2/3, 3/5, ...) as non-interacting quasi-electrons…
