Justification for the Composite Fermion Picture
نویسنده
چکیده
The mean field (MF) composite Fermion (CF) picture successfully predicts the low-lying bands of states of fractional quantum Hall systems. This success cannot be attributed to the originally proposed cancellation between Coulomb and Chern– Simons interactions beyond the mean field and solely depends on the short range of the repulsive Coulomb pseudopotential in the lowest Landau level (LL). The class of pseudopotentials is defined for which the MFCF picture can be applied. The success or failure of the MFCF picture in various systems (electrons in the lowest and excited LL’s, Laughlin quasiparticles) is explained.

Composite Fermions in Fractional Quantum Hall Systems
The composite Fermion (CF) picture offers a simple intuitive way of understanding many of the surprising properties of a strongly interacting twodimensional electron fluid in a large magnetic field. The simple way in which the mean field CF picture describes the low lying bands of angular momentum multiplets for any value of the applied magnetic field is illustrated and compared with the result...
متن کاملThe Hierarchy of Incompressible Fractional Quantum Hall States
The correlations that give rise to incompressible quantum liquid (IQL) states in fractional quantum Hall systems are determined by the pseudopotential V (R) describing the interaction of a pair of Fermions in a degenerate Landau level (LL) as a function of relative pair angular momentum R. V (R) is known for a number of different Fermion systems, e.g. electrons in the lowest Landau level (LL0) ...
متن کاملA Geometric Picture for Fermion Masses
We describe a geometric picture for the pattern of fermion masses of the three generations which is invariant with respect to the renormalization group below the electroweak scale. Moreover, we predict the upper limit for the ratio between the Dirac masses of the μ and τ neutrinos, ( mνμ/mντ ) ≤ (9.6 ± 0.6) × 10. The Standard Model [1, 2] of strong and electroweak interactions describes accurat...
متن کاملExclusion statistics for fractional quantum Hall states on a sphere
We discuss exclusion statistics parameters for quasiholes and quasielectrons excited above the fractional quantum Hall states near ν = p/(2np + 1). We derive the diagonal statistics parameters from the (“unprojected”) composite fermion (CF) picture. We propose values for the off-diagonal (mutual) statistics parameters as a simple modification of those obtained from the unprojected CF picture, b...
متن کاملComposite-Fermion Picture for the Spin-Wave Excitation in the Fractional Quantum Hall System.
Spin-wave excitation mode from the spin-polarized ground state in the fractional quantum Hall liquid with odd fractions (ν = 1/3, 1/5) numerically obtained by the exact diagonalization of finite systems is shown to be accurately described, for wavelengths exceeding the magnetic length, in terms of the composite-fermion mean-field approximation for the spin-wave (magnon) theory formulated in the...
