چکیده
We provide numerical evidence for composite fermion pairing in quantum Hall bilayer systems at filling nu=1/2+1/2 for intermediate spacing between the layers. We identify the phase as p_(x)+ip_(y) pairing, and construct high accuracy trial wave functions to describe the ground state on the sphere. For large distances between the layers, and for finite systems, a competing "Hund's rule" state, or composite fermion liquid, prevails for certain system sizes.

Interlayer coherent composite Fermi liquid phase in quantum Hall bilayers.
We introduce an interlayer coherent composite Fermi liquid for nu = 1/2 + 1/2 bilayers, in which interlayer Coulomb repulsion drives exciton condensation of composite fermions. As a result, composite fermions propagate coherently between layers--even though electrons do not--and form bonding and antibonding Fermi seas. This phase is compressible with respect to symmetric currents but quantum Ha...
متن کاملGauge Fields and Pairing in Double-Layer Composite Fermion Metals.
A symmetrically doped double layer electron system with total filling fraction ν = 1/m decouples into two even denominator (ν = 1/2m) composite fermion ‘metals’ when the layer spacing is large. Out-of-phase fluctuations of the statistical gauge fields in this system mediate a singular attractive pairing interaction between composite fermions in different layers. A strong-coupling analysis shows...
متن کاملFractional statistics in the fractional quantum Hall effect.
A microscopic confirmation of the fractional statistics of the quasiparticles in the fractional quantum Hall effect has so far been lacking. We calculate the statistics of the composite-fermion quasiparticles at nu=1/3 and nu=2/5 by evaluating the Berry phase for a closed loop encircling another composite-fermion quasiparticle. A careful consideration of subtle perturbations in the trajectory d...
متن کاملFractional quantum Hall effect in multicomponent systems THÈSE
We study a number of fractional quantum Hall systems, such as quantum Hall bilayers, wide quantum wells or graphene, where underlying multicomponent degrees of freedom lead to the novel physical phenomena. In the quantum Hall bilayer at the filling factor ν = 1 we study mixed composite boson-composite fermion trial wave functions in order to describe the disordering of the exciton superfluid as...
متن کاملInterlayer Pairing Symmetry of Composite Fermions in Quantum Hall Bilayers.
We study the pairing symmetry of the interlayer paired state of composite fermions in quantum Hall bilayers. Based on the Halperin-Lee-Read (HLR) theory, the effect of the long-range Coulomb interaction and the internal Chern-Simons gauge fluctuation is analyzed with the random-phase approximation beyond the leading order contribution in small momentum expansion, and we observe that the interla...
