Half-filled Landau levels host an emergent Fermi-liquid which displays an instability towards pairing, culminating in a gapped even-denominator fractional quantum Hall ground state. While this pairing may be probed by tuning the…
Fractional quantum Hall states (FQHSs) at even-denominator Landau level filling factors ($\nu$) are of prime interest as they are predicted to host exotic, topological states of matter. We report here the observation of a FQHS at $\nu=1/2$…
We investigate the $2k_F$ density-wave instability of non-Fermi liquid states by combining exact diagonalization with renormalization group analysis. At the half-filled zeroth Landau level, we study the fate of the composite Fermi liquid in…
The $\nu=2/5$ state is spin-unpolarized at weak magnetic field and fully polarized at strong field. At intermediate field, a plateau of half the maximal polarization is observed. We study this phenomenon in the frame of composite fermion…
The two-dimensional electron gas is of fundamental importance in quantum many-body physics. We study a minimal extension of this model with $C_4$ (as opposed to full rotational) symmetry and an electronic dispersion with two valleys with…
We report magnetotransport measurements of fractional quantum Hall states in an AlAs quantum well around Landau level filling factor nu = 3/2, demonstrating that the quasiparticles are composite Fermions (CFs) with a valley degree of…
We report magneto-transport measurements in wide GaAs quantum wells with tunable density to probe the stability of the fractional quantum Hall effect at filling factor $\nu = $ 5/2 in the vicinity of the crossing between Landau levels (LLs)…
We study the role of anisotropy on the transport properties of composite fermions near Landau level filling factor $\nu=1/2$ in two-dimensional holes confined to a GaAs quantum well. By applying a parallel magnetic field, we tune the…
When confined to two dimensions and exposed to a strong magnetic field, electrons screen the Coulomb interaction in a topological fashion; they capture and even number of quantum vortices and transform into particl es called `composite…
We report ballistic transport measurements in a two-dimensional electron system confined to an AlAs quantum well and patterned with square antidot lattices of period $a = $0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.5 $\mu$m. In this system two in-plane…
We study a two-dimensional electron system where the electrons occupy two conduction band valleys with anisotropic Fermi contours and strain-tunable occupation. We observe persistent quantum Hall states at filling factors $\nu = 1/3$ and…
The interplay between the Fermi sea anisotropy, electron-electron interaction, and localization phenomena can give rise to exotic many-body phases. An exciting example is an anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) Wigner solid (WS), where…
We report experimental studies of disorder-induced transitions between quantum-Hall, metallic, and insulating states in a very dilute two-dimensional electron system in silicon at a magnetic field corresponding to Landau level filling…
A transport study of two-dimensional (2D) holes confined to wide GaAs quantum wells provides a glimpse of a subtle competition between different many-body phases at Landau level filling $\nu=3/2$ in tilted magnetic fields. At large tilt…
In two-dimensional electron systems confined to wide AlAs quantum wells, composite fermions around the filling factor $\nu$ = 3/2 are fully spin polarized but possess a valley degree of freedom. Here we measure the energy needed to…
Following recent work of Halperin, Lee, and Read, and Kalmeyer and Zhang, a double-layer electron system with total Landau-level filling factor $\nu=1/2$ is mapped onto an equivalent system of fermions in zero average magnetic field…
We have realized an AlAs two-dimensional electron system in which electrons occupy conduction-band valleys with different Fermi contours and effective masses. In the quantum Hall regime, we observe both resistivity spikes and persistent…
One of the most successful theories of a non-Fermi liquid metallic state is the composite Fermi liquid (CFL) theory of the half-filled Landau level. In this paper, we study continuous quantum phase transitions out of the CFL state and into…
We consider the lowest Landau level on a torus as a function of its circumference $L_1$. When $L_1\to 0$, the ground state at general rational filling fraction is a crystal with a gap--a Tao-Thouless state. For filling fractions…
Half-metals have fully spin polarized charge carriers at the Fermi surface. Such polarization usually occurs due to strong electron--electron correlations. Recently [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf{119}}, 107601 (2017)], we have demonstrated…
