Integer and fractional charge solitons in modulated strips in the fractional quantum Hall regime
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the existence and study the solitonic excitations in two kinds of samples in the fractional quantum Hall regime. One is a strip modulated by a one-dimensional array of gates. The other is made of two parallel strips coupled by a one-dimensional array of tunnel barriers. We predict the existence of integer charge solitons in the first case, and fractional charge solitons in the second case. We study the two cases both in the dissipative and in the inertial limits.

Characterization of fractional-quantum-Hall-effect quasiparticles
Composite fermions in a partially filled quasi-Landau level may be viewed as quasielectrons of the underlying fractional quantum Hall state, suggesting that a quasielectron is simply a dressed electron, as often is true in other interacting electron systems, and as a result has the same intrinsic charge and exchange statistics as an electron. This paper discusses how this result is reconciled w...
متن کاملCoulomb oscillations in antidots in the integer and fractional quantum Hall regimes.
We report measurements of resistance oscillations in micron-scale antidots in both the integer and fractional quantum Hall regimes. In the integer regime, we conclude that oscillations are of the Coulomb type from the scaling of magnetic field period with the number of edges bound to the antidot. Based on both gate-voltage and field periods, we find at filling factor ν = 2 a tunneling charge of...
متن کاملShot-noise evidence of elementary charge fission into fractional charges in a quantum Hall regime
We have experimentally evidenced an elementary charge fission, in which an elementary charge in an integer quantum Hall (IQH) system breaks up into fractional charges at a local fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state. Shot-noise measurements establish the e/3-charge of tunneling quasiparticles through the local FQH state, which is prepared in a low-density region near a quantum point contact (QPC)...

h in quantum Hall regime of the system of interactions and disorders. This shows that a determination of the fine structure constant from integer quantum Hall effect is in fact possible. We present also a unified mean field theory of the fractional Hall effect for the in-compressible quantum liquid states based on flux condensation and point out that the known Hofstadter butterfly spectrum of t...
متن کاملFractional Solitons in Excitonic Josephson Junctions
The Josephson effect is especially appealing to physicists because it reveals macroscopically the quantum order and phase. In excitonic bilayers the effect is even subtler due to the counterflow of supercurrent as well as the tunneling between layers (interlayer tunneling). Here we study, in a quantum Hall bilayer, the excitonic Josephson junction: a conjunct of two exciton condensates with a r...
