We present a field theory of Jain's composite fermion model as generalised to the bilayer quantum Hall systems. We define operators which create composite fermions and write the Hamiltonian exactly in terms of these operators. This is seen…
Using a well known singular gauge transformation, certain fractional quantized Hall states can be modeled as integer quantized Hall states of transformed fermions interacting with a Chern-Simons field. In previous work we have calculated…
The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) at the filling factor with an even denominator, 5/2, occurs despite the expectation, due to the electron statistics, that the denominator must be an odd number. It is believed that the Cooper…
It is known that a subset of fractional quantum Hall wave functions has been expressed as conformal field theory (CFT) correlators, notably the Laughlin wave function at filling factor $\nu=1/m$ ($m$ odd) and its quasiholes, and the…
We find that the work of Ichinose requires far too many quasiparticles. As a result too many parameters are introduced to fit the mass of a composite fermion (CF) and hence experimentally, it will not be possible to identify all of such…
We derive an effective hamiltonian in the Lowest Landau Level (LLL) that incorporates the effects of Landau-level mixing to all higher Landau levels to leading order in the ratio of interaction energy to the cyclotron energy. We then…
We study a bilayer GaAs hole system that hosts two distinct many-body phases at low temperatures and high perpendicular magnetic fields. The higher-density (top) layer develops a Fermi sea of composite fermions (CFs) in its half-filled…
The low-energy excitations of filled Landau levels (LL's) of electrons involve promotion of a single electron from the topmost filled LL to the lowest empty LL. These are called excitons or collective modes. The incompressible fractional…
Quantum Hall systems offer the most familiar setting where strong inter-particle interactions combine with the topology of single particle states to yield novel phenomena. Despite our mature understanding of these systems, an open challenge…
It has been observed that the composite fermion (CF) approach tends to overcount the number of linearly independent candidate states for fixed sets of quantum numbers [number of particles, total angular momentum, and (pseudo)spin if…
An effective Hamiltonian for spinless electrons in the lowest Landau level (LLL) close to half filling is derived. As opposed to the treatment in standard Chern-Simons theories (CS) we first project to the LLL and only then apply a…
The effective interaction between composite fermions, set entirely by the Coulomb potential and the underlying electronic Landau level orbitals, can stabilize exotic fractional quantum Hall states. In particular, half-filled Landau levels…
In a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well of electron density 1x10^{11} cm^{-2} we observe a fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) at filling factors nu=4/11, and 5/13, and weaker states at nu=6/17, 4/13, 5/17 and 7/11. These sequences of fractions do…
Most of the fractions observed to date belong to the sequences $\nu=n/(2pn\pm 1)$ and $\nu=1-n/(2pn\pm 1)$, $n$ and $p$ integers, understood as the familiar {\em integral} quantum Hall effect of composite fermions. These sequences fail to…
We study theoretically the dispersion of a single quasiparticle or quasihole of the fractional quantum Hall effect, obtained by injecting or removing a composite fermion. By comparing to a free fermion system, we estimate the regime of…
Unlike regular electron spin, the pseudospin degeneracy of Fermi points in graphene does not couple directly to magnetic field. Therefore, graphene provides a natural vehicle to observe the integral and fractional quantum Hall physics in an…
A rich pattern of fractional quantum Hall states in graphene double layers can be naturally explained in terms of two-component composite fermions carrying both intra- and inter-layer vortices.
The fractional quantum Hall (FQH) effect arises from strong electron correlations in a quantising magnetic field, and features exotic emergent phenomena such as electron fractionalisation. Using the diagrammatic Monte Carlo approach with…
Interacting electrons in a semiconductor quantum dot at strong magnetic fields exhibit a rich set of states, including correlated quantum fluids and crystallites of various symmetries. We develop in this paper a perturbative scheme based on…
The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) is theoretically investigated, with numerical and algebraic approaches, in assemblies of a few spinful ultracold neutral fermionic atoms, interacting via repulsive contact potentials and confined in…
