A Fermion to Boson transformation is accomplished by attaching to each Fermion a single flux quantum oriented opposite to the applied magnetic field. When the mean field approximation is made in the Haldane spherical geometry, the Fermion…
Dujavne et al suggest that the observed spectra are a result of spin-split Landau levels and spin-flip energies reveal composite fermion interactions. We find that the CF effective field formula is incorrect. In fact, CF model is…
Single particle basis functions for composite fermions are obtained from which many-composite fermion states confined to the lowest electronic Landau level can be constructed in the standard manner, i.e., by building Slater determinants.…
