Fractional quantum Hall effect of topological surface states under a strong tilted magnetic field

Abstract

The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) of topological surface-state particles under a tilted strong magnetic field is theoretically studied by using the exact diagonalization method. The Haldane's pseudopotentials for the Coulomb interaction are analytically obtained. The results show that by increasing the in-plane component of the tilted magnetic field, the FQHE state at $n$=0 Landau level (LL) becomes more stable, while the stabilities of $n$=$\pm 1$ LLs become weaker. Moreover, we find that the excitation gaps of the $\nu =1/3$ FQHE states increase as the tilt angle is increased.
