We study meron quasiparticle excitations in the \nu = 1 quantum Hall bilayer. Considering the well known single meron state, we introduce its effective form, valid in the longdistance limit. That enables us to propose two (and more) meron…

One of the most dominant candidates for the paired quantum Hall (QH) state at filling factor $\nu=5/2$ is the Moore-Read (MR) Pfaffian state. A salient problem, however, is that it does not occur exactly at the Coulomb interaction, but…
