Transition from Quantum Hall to Compressible States in the Second Landau Level: New Light on theν=5/2Enigma

Open access

Abstract

Quantum Hall states at filling fraction $\ensuremath{\nu}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}5/2$ are examined by numerical diagonalization. Spin-polarized and spin-unpolarized states of systems with $N\ensuremath{\le}18$ electrons are studied, neglecting effects of Landau level mixing. We find that the ground state is spin polarized. It is incompressible and has a large overlap with paired states like the Pfaffian. For a given sample, the energy gap is about 11 times smaller than at $\ensuremath{\nu}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}1/3$. Evidence is presented of phase transitions to compressible states, driven by the interaction strength at short distance. A reinterpretation of experiments is suggested.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
