Breaking of Particle-Hole Symmetry by Landau Level Mixing in the nu=5/2 Quantized Hall State

arXiv:0912.0109 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.106.116801

Abstract

We perform numerical studies to determine if the fractional quantum Hall state observed at filling nu=5/2 is the Moore-Read wavefunction or its particle hole conjugate, the so-called AntiPfaffian. Using a truncated Hilbert space approach we find that for realistic interactions, including Landau-level mixing, the ground state remains fully polarized and the AntiPfaffian is strongly favored.

Main change is that the Anti-Pfaffian is favored instead of the Pfaffian (caused by a sign error in the commutation relation of the dynamical momenta). 4-plus pages, 3 figures
