We study the stability of spin-resolved Landau levels at electron filling factor $\nu=n+1/2$, where n is a positive integer. Representing the half-filled topmost Landau level by fermions and the n filled inner Landau levels by n bosons,…
Motivated by a recent experiment of Willett et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 4478 (1997)], we employ semiclassical composite-fermion theory to study the effect of a periodic density modulation on a quantum Hall system near Landau level filling…
Exact diagonalization studies have revealed that the energy spectrum of interacting electrons in the lowest Landau level splits, non-perturbatively, into bands, which is responsible for the fascinating phenomenology of this system. The…
An effective Hamiltonian for spinless electrons in the lowest Landau level (LLL) close to half filling is derived. As opposed to the treatment in standard Chern-Simons theories (CS) we first project to the LLL and only then apply a…
We develop a systematic semiclassical approximation scheme for quantum Hall skyrmions near filling factors $\nu = {1 \over 2n+1}$, which is exact in the long wavelength limit. We construct a coherent state basis for the Hilbert space of…
We address the question of whether fractionally filled bands with a nontrivial Chern index in zero external field could also exhibit a Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (FQHE). Numerical works suggest this is possible. Analytic treatments are…
We consider both disorder and interaction effects on the magnetoresistance and Hall constant of composite fermions in the vicinity of half filled Landau level. By contrast to the standard case of Coulomb interacting two-dimensional electron…
We study the interplay of particle-hole symmetry and fermion-vortex duality in multicomponent half-filled Landau levels, such as quantum Hall gallium arsenide bilayers and graphene. For the $\nu{=}1/2{+}1/2$ bilayer, we show that…
Standard field theoretic formulations of composite fermion theories for the anomalous metals that form at or near even-denominator filling fractions of the lowest Landau level do not possess Galilei invariance. To restore Galilei symmetry,…
Effect of interlayer tunneling in the double-layer fractional quantum Hall system at the total Landau level filling of $\nu=1/m$ ($m$: odd integer) is analyzed with the composite-fermion approach in which the flux attachment is directly…
We consider the Coulomb drag between two layers of two-dimensional electronic gases subject to a strong magnetic field. We first focus on the case in which the electronic density is such that the Landau level filling fraction $\nu$ in each…
The High Landau level filling fractions 5/2, 7/3 and 8/3 are interpreted by using the angular momentum model. It is found that for the odd number of flux quanta, the quasiparticles called the ``composite fermions'' are fermions but for even…
Via the application of parallel magnetic field, we induce a single-layer to bilayer transition in two-dimensional electron systems confined to wide GaAs quantum wells, and study the geometric resonance of composite fermions (CFs) with a…
Motivated by the quasiparticle wavefunction in the composite fermion (CF) theory for fractional quantum Hall filling factor $\nu = 1/m$, I consider a suitable quasiparticle operator in differential form, as a modified form of Laughlin's…
We derive a microscopic theory of the composite fermions describing the low-lying edge excitations in the fractional quantum Hall liquid. Using the composite fermion transformation, one finds that the edge states of the $\nu=1/m$ system in…
We develop a field theory for a partially filled Landau level based on composite fermions with a finite vortex core, whose mean-field states are exactly those described by well-tested trial wave functions. Despite non-orthogonality of free…
The mean field composite Fermion (MFCF) picture has been qualitatively successful when applied to electrons (or holes) in the lowest Landau level. Because the energy scales associated with Coulomb interactions and with Chern-Simons gauge…
Building on previous work [N. Read, Phys. Rev. B 58, Z. Dong and T. Senthil, 16262 (1998); Phys. Rev. B 102, 205126 (2020)] on the system of bosons at filling factor $\nu = 1$, we derive the Dirac composite fermion theory for a half-filled…
Composite fermions provide a simple and unified picture to understand a vast amount of phenomenology in the quantum Hall regime. However it has remained challenging to formulate this concept properly within a single Landau level. Recently a…
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…
