Abstract

We report results of exact diagonalization studies of the spin- and valley-polarized fractional quantum Hall effect in the and 1 Landau levels in graphene. We use an effective model that incorporates Landau level mixing to lowest-order in the parameter which is magnetic field independent and can only be varied through the choice of substrate. We find Landau level mixing effects are negligible in the Landau level for . In fact, the lowest Landau level projected Coulomb Hamiltonian is a better approximation to the real Hamiltonian for graphene than it is for semiconductor based quantum wells. Consequently, the principal fractional quantum Hall states are expected in the Landau level over this range of . In the Landau level, fractional quantum Hall states are expected for a smaller range of and Landau level mixing strongly breaks particle-hole symmetry producing qualitatively different results compared to the Landau level. At half-filling of the Landau level, we predict the anti-Pfaffian state will occur for -.
