Pairing of composite fermions provides a possible mechanism for fractional quantum Hall effect at even denominator fractions and is believed to serve as a platform for realizing quasiparticles with non-Abelian braiding statistics. We…
Composite fermions (CFs) are the particles underlying the novel phenomena observed in partially filled Landau levels. Both microscopic wave functions and semi-classical dynamics suggest that a CF is a dipole consisting of an electron and a…
