We have investigated the effect of unidirectional periodic potential modulation on the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states located within the filling factor range $1< u<2$. We find that odd-numerator FQH states are strongly suppressed, while the even-numerator ones are less affected or even enhanced, by the introduction of the modulation. In the picture of the composite fermions (CFs), the behaviors are equivalent to the suppression of the spin splitting of the CFs by the modulation. We discuss the origin of the suppression and the possible modulation-induced phase transition from the FQH state to the stripe state.

We have investigated the effect of unidirectional periodic potential modulation on the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state at filling factors nu=5/3 and 4/3. For large enough modulation amplitude, we find that the resistivity minimum at nu=5/3 gives way to a peak that grows with decreasing temperature. Density matrix renormalization group calculation reveals that phase transition from FQH state to unidirectional striped state having a period sim 4 l (with l the magnetic length) takes place at nu=1/3 (equivalent to nu=5/3 by the particle-hole symmetry) with the increase of the modulation amplitude, suggesting that the observed peak is the manifestation of the stripe phase.
Motivated by the recently discovered microwave-induced ``zero-resistance states in two-dimensional electron systems, we study the microwave photoconductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) subject to a unidirectional static periodic potenti al. The combination of this potential, the classically strong magnetic field, and the microwave radiation may result in an anisotropic negative conductivity of the 2DEG. Similar to the case of a smooth random potential, two mechanisms contribute to the negative photoconductivity. The displacement mechanism arises from electron transitions due to disorder-assisted microwave absorption and emission. The distribution-function mechanism arises from microwave-induced changes in the electron distribution. However, the replacement of a smooth random potential by the unidirectional one, leads to different relative strengths of the two contributions to the photoconductivity. The distribution function mechanism dominates the photoconductivity in the direction of the static potential modulation, while both mechanisms contribute equally strongly to the photoconductivity in the perpendicular direction. The unidirectionality of the static potential simplifies greatly the evaluation of the photoconductivities, which follow directly from Fermis golden rule.
We have experimentally identified fractional quasiparticle creation in a tunneling process through a local fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state. The local FQH state is prepared in a low-density region near a quantum point contact (QPC) in an integer q uantum Hall (IQH) system. Shot-noise measurements reveal a clear transition from elementary-charge tunneling at low bias to fractional-charge tunneling at high bias. The fractional shot noise is proportional to T1(1 ? T1) over a wide range of T1, where T1 is the transmission probability of the IQH edge channel. This binomial distribution indicates that fractional quasiparticles emerge from the IQH state to be transmitted through the local FQH state. The study of this tunneling process will enable us to elucidate the dynamics of Laughlin quasiparticles in FQH systems.
We compare the energy gap of the u=5/2 fractional quantum Hall effect state obtained in conventional high mobility modulation doped quantum well samples with those obtained in high quality GaAs transistors (heterojunction insulated gate field-effect transistors). We are able to identify the different roles that long range and short range disorders play in the 5/2 state and observe that the long range potential fluctuations are more detrimental to the strength of the 5/2 state than short-range potential disorder.
We consider the dephasing rate of an electron level in a quantum dot, placed next to a fluctuating edge current in the fractional quantum Hall effect. Using perturbation theory, we show that this rate has an anomalous dependence on the bias voltage a pplied to the neighboring quantum point contact, which originates from the Luttinger liquid physics which describes the Hall fluid. General expressions are obtained using a screened Coulomb interaction. The dephasing rate is strictly proportional to the zero frequency backscattering current noise, which allows to describe exactly the weak to strong backscattering crossover using the Bethe-Ansatz solution.
