We studied neutral excitations in a two-dimensional electron system with an orbital momentum $Delta M = 1$ and spin projection over magnetic field axis $Delta S_z = 1$ in the vicinity of a filling factor of 3/2. It is shown that the 3/2 state is a singular point in the filling factor dependence of the spin ordering of the two-dimensional electron system. In the vicinity of $ u=3/2$, a significant increase in the relaxation time ($tau = 13$ $mutext{s}$) for the excitations to the ground state is exhibited even though the number of vacancies in the lowest energy level is macroscopically large. The decrease of the relaxation rate is related to the spin texture transformation in the ground state induced by spin flips and electron density rearrangement. We claim the 3/2 state is a locally incompressible fractional quantum Hall state.

We directly measure the chemical potential jump in the low-temperature limit when the filling factor traverses the nu = 1/3 and nu = 2/5 fractional gaps in two-dimensional (2D) electron system in GaAs/AlGaAs single heterojunctions. In high magnetic f ields B, both gaps are linear functions of B with slopes proportional to the inverse fraction denominator, 1/q. The fractional gaps close partially when the Fermi level lies outside. An empirical analysis indicates that the chemical potential jump for an IDEAL 2D electron system, in the highest accessible magnetic fields, is proportional to q^{-1}B^{1/2}.

We present a numerical study of fractional quantum Hall liquid at Landau level filling factor $ u=2/3$ in a microscopic model including long-range Coulomb interaction and edge confining potential, based on the disc geometry. We find the ground state is accurately described by the particle-hole conjugate of a $ u=1/3$ Laughlin state. We also find there are two counter-propagating edge modes, and the velocity of the forward-propagating mode is larger than the backward-propagating mode. The velocities have opposite responses to the change of the background confinement potential. On the other hand changing the two-body Coulomb potential has qualitatively the same effect on the velocities; for example we find increasing layer thickness (which softens of the Coulomb interaction) reduces both the forward mode and the backward mode velocities.
In this work we report the opening of an energy gap at the filling factor $ u=3+1/3$, firmly establishing the ground state as a fractional quantum Hall state. This and other odd-denominator states unexpectedly break particle-hole symmetry. Specifical ly, we find that the relative magnitudes of the energy gaps of the $ u=3+1/3$ and $3+1/5$ states from the upper spin branch are reversed when compared to the $ u=2+1/3$ and $2+1/5$ counterpart states in the lower spin branch. Our findings raise the possibility that the former states have a non-conventional origin.
The nature of the state at low Landau-level filling factors has been a longstanding puzzle in the field of the fractional quantum Hall effect. While theoretical calculations suggest that a crystal is favored at filling factors $ ulesssim 1/6$, experi ments show, at somewhat elevated temperatures, minima in the longitudinal resistance that are associated with fractional quantum Hall effect at $ u=$ 1/7, 2/11, 2/13, 3/17, 3/19, 1/9, 2/15 and 2/17, which belong to the standard sequences $ u=n/(6npm 1)$ and $ u=n/(8npm 1)$. To address this paradox, we investigate the nature of some of the low-$ u$ states, specifically $ u=1/7$, $2/13$, and $1/9$, by variational Monte Carlo, density matrix renormalization group, and exact diagonalization methods. We conclude that in the thermodynamic limit, these are likely to be incompressible fractional quantum Hall liquids, albeit with strong short-range crystalline correlations. This suggests a natural explanation for the experimentally observed behavior and a rich phase diagram that admits, in the low-disorder limit, a multitude of crystal-FQHE liquid transitions as the filling factor is reduced.
We study coherence and entanglement properties of the state space of a composite bi-fermion (two electrons pierced by $lambda$ magnetic flux lines) at one Landau site of a bilayer quantum Hall system. In particular, interlayer imbalance and entanglem ent (and its fluctuations) are analyzed for a set of $U(4)$ coherent (emph{quasiclassical}) states generalizing the standard pseudospin $U(2)$ coherent states for the spin-frozen case. The interplay between spin and pseudospin degrees of freedom opens new possibilities with regard to the spin-frozen case. Actually, spin degrees of freedom make interlayer entanglement more effective and robust under perturbations than in the spin-frozen situation, mainly for a large number of flux quanta $lambda$. Interlayer entanglement of an equilibrium thermal state and its dependence with temperature and bias voltage is also studied for a pseudo-Zeeman interaction.
