We report on transport signatures of eight distinct bubble phases in the $N=3$ Landau level of a Al$_{x}$Ga$_{1-x}$As/Al$_{0.24}$Ga$_{0.76}$As quantum well with $x = 0.0015$. These phases occur near partial filling factors $\nu^\star…

The density-of-states (DOS) for a magnetized (B) two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) containing point scatterers of arbitrary strengths, concentration ($n_s$) and distribution is analyzed. It is shown from the first principles that for…
We consider the lowest Landau level on a torus as a function of its circumference $L_1$. When $L_1\to 0$, the ground state at general rational filling fraction is a crystal with a gap--a Tao-Thouless state. For filling fractions…
The quantum Hall effect is generally understood for free electron gases, in which topologically protected edge states between Landau levels (LLs) form conducting channels at the edge of the sample. In periodic crystals, the LLs are…
We show that the solid phase between the 1/5 and 2/9 fractional quantum Hall states arises from an extremely delicate interplay between type-1 and type-2 composite fermion crystals, clearly demonstrating its nontrivial, strongly correlated…
