The exact diagonalization technique is used to study many-particle properties of interacting electrons with spin, confined in a two-dimensional harmonic potential. The single-particle basis is limited to the lowest Landau level. The results…

We show that the introduction of a more general closed-shell operator allows one to extend Laughlin's wave function to account for the richer hierarchies (1/3, 2/5, 3/7 ...; 1/5, 2/9, 3/13, ..., etc.) found experimentally. The construction…

The ground state at 4/11 filling factor is very well understood [Phys. Rev. Lett. 112, 016801 (2014)] in terms of the 1/3 filled second effective Landau level of the composite fermions whose correlations resemble with that of electrons in…
We investigate Laughlin's fractional quantum Hall effect wave function in the cylinder geometry of Laughlin's integer quantum Hall effect argument, at filling factor 1/3. We show that the plasma analogy leads to a periodic density, and that…

We consider fractional quantum Hall states built on Laughlin's original N-body wave-functions, i.e., they are of the form holomorphic times gaussian and vanish when two particles come close, with a given polynomial rate. Such states appear…
We construct a generalized Laughlin-liquid wave function and a variational electron solid wave function when the magnetic field is tilted. The energy of the liquid state is evaluated by Monte Carlo methods while the energy of the solid…
