We investigate the issue of whether quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect possess a fractional intrinsic spin. The presence of such a spin $S$ is suggested by the spin-statistics relation $S=\theta/2\pi$, with $\theta$ being…

Quasihole excitations in fractional quantum Hall (FQH) systems exhibit fractional statistics and fractional spin, but how the spin-statistics relation emerges from many-body physics remains poorly understood. Here we prove a spin-statistics…
It has been pointed out by Smet that there are fractional-charge values which do not fit with their formula of composite fermions. We find that our formula predicts these fractional charges very well and in fact there exists a relationship…
