Two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are studied in the the filling-factor range 2<v<3. We find both theoretical and experimental evidence of a collective many-body phenomenon, where a fraction of the trapped electrons form an incompressible spin-droplet on the highest occupied Landau level. The phenomenon occurs only when the number of electrons in the quantum dot is larger than ~30. We find the onset of the spin-droplet regime at v=5/2. This proposes a finite-geometry alternative to the Moore-Read-type Pfaffian state of the bulk two-dimensional electron gas. Hence, the spin-droplet formation may be related to the observed fragility of the v=5/2 quantum Hall state in narrow quantum point contacts.

Enhancement of the electron spin polarization in a correlated two-layer two-dimensional electron system at a total Landau level filling factor of one is reported. Using resistively detected nuclear magnetic resonance, we demonstrate that the electron spin polarization of two closely-spaced two-dimensional electron systems becomes maximized when inter-layer Coulomb correlations establish spontaneous isospin ferromagnetic order. This correlation-driven polarization dominates over the spin polarizations of competing single-layer fractional Quantum Hall states under electron density imbalances.
In a quantum Hall system, the finite-wavevector Hall conductivity displays an intriguing dependence on the Hall viscosity, a coefficient that describes the non-dissipative response of the fluid to a velocity gradient. In this paper, we pursue this co nnection in detail for quantum Hall systems on a lattice, noting that the neat continuum relation breaks down and develops corrections due to the broken rotational symmetry. In the process, we introduce a new, quantum mechanical derivation of the finite-wavevector Hall conductivity for the integer quantum Hall effect, which allows terms to arbitrary order in the wavevector expansion to be calculated straightforwardly. We also develop a universal formalism for studying quantum Hall physics on a lattice, and find that at weak applied magnetic fields, generic lattice wavefunctions connect smoothly to the Landau levels of the continuum. At moderate field strengths, the lattice corrections can be significant and perturb the wavefunctions, energy levels, and transport properties from their continuum values. Our approach allows the finite-field behaviour of a system to be inferred directly from the zero-field band structure.

Cyclotron spin-flip excitation in a nu=2 quantum Hall system, being separated from the ground state by a slightly smaller gap than the cyclotron energy and from upper magnetoplasma excitation by the Coulomb gap [S. Dickmann and I.V. Kukushkin, Phys. Rev. B 71, 241310(R) (2005) ; L.V. Kulik, I.V. Kukushkin, S. Dickmann, V.E. Kirpichev, A.B. Vankov, A.L. Parakhonsky, J.H. Smet, K. von Klitzing, and W. Wegscheider, Phys. Rev. B 72, 073304 (2005)] cannot relax in a purely electronic way except only with the emission of a shortwave acoustic phonon (k~3*10^7/cm). As a result, relaxation in a modern wide-thickness quantum well occurs very slowly. We calculate the characteristic relaxation time to be ~1s. Extremely slow relaxation should allow the production of a considerable density of zero-momenta cyclotron spin-flip excitations in a very small phase volume, thus forming a highly coherent ensemble - the Bose-Einstein condensate. The condensate state can be controlled by short optical pulses (<1 mcs), switching it on and off.

For the fractional quantum Hall states on a finite disc, we study the thermoelectric transport properties under the influence of an edge and its reconstruction. In a recent study on a torus [Phys. Rev. B 101, 241101 (2020)], Sheng and Fu found a univ ersal non-Fermi liquid power-law scaling of the thermoelectric conductivity $alpha_{xy} propto T^{eta}$ for the gapless composite Fermi-liquid state. The exponent $eta sim 0.5$ appears an independence of the filling factors and the details of the interactions. In the presence of an edge, we find the properties of the edge spectrum dominants the low-temperature behaviors and breaks the universal scaling law of the thermoelectric conductivity. In order to consider individually the effects of the edge states, the entanglement spectrum in real space is employed and tuned by varying the area of subsystem. In non-Abelian Moore-Read state, the Majorana neutral edge mode is found to have more significant effect than that of the charge mode in the low temperature.
The entanglement entropy of the $ u = 1/3$ and $ u = 5/2$ quantum Hall states in the presence of short range random disorder has been calculated by direct diagonalization. A microscopic model of electron-electron interaction is used, electrons are co nfined to a single Landau level and interact with long range Coulomb interaction. For very weak disorder, the values of the topological entanglement entropy are roughly consistent with expected theoretical results. By considering a broader range of disorder strengths, the fluctuation in the entanglement entropy was studied in an effort to detect quantum phase transitions. In particular, there is a clear signature of a transition as a function of the disorder strength for the $ u = 5/2$ state. Prospects for using the density matrix renormalization group to compute the entanglement entropy for larger system sizes are discussed.
