Is There Another Scale in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect?
نویسنده
چکیده
We reanalyse theoretical considerations and experimental data, in an attempt to decide whether there is another scale in the fractional quantum Hall effect problem, in addition to the magnetic scale defined by the magnetic length a c or the cyclotron energy ¯ hω c. We then discuss possible implications of a new scale on the formulation of a theoretical model of the fractional quantum Hall effect.

Applications of Quantum Group to Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
We show that there exists quantum group symmetry slq(2) in the fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) and this symmetry governs the degeneracy of groundstate level. Under the periodic boundary condition, the degree of degeneracy is related to the cyclic representation of slq(2). We also discuss the influence of impurity by using quantum group technique and give the energy correction due to the i...
متن کاملThe fractional quantum Hall effect in wide quantum wells
Currently, there is a strong interest in the even-denominator fractional quantum Hall state at filling factor ν = 5/2, observed in state-of-the-art GaAs based two-dimensional electron systems. This interest stems from the potential relevance of this ground state for topological quantum computation resulting from the non-Abelian statistics its quasi-particle excitations are predicted to obey. Pa...
متن کاملTwenty years since the discovery of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect: Current state of the theory
The current state of the theory of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect is critically analyzed, especially the generally accepted concept of composite fermions. It is argued that there is no sound theoretical foundation for this concept. A simple one-dimensional model is proposed, which presumably has an energy spectrum similar to that of the FQHE system. —————————————————————

We consider the fractal characteristic of the quantum mechanical paths and we obtain for any universal class of fractons labeled by the Hausdorff dimension defined within the interval 1 < h < 2, a fractal distribution function associated with a fractal von Newmann entropy. Fractons are charge-flux systems defined in two-dimensional multiply connected space and they carry rational or irrational ...
متن کاملCharacterization 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...
