Anomalous Gap Reversal of the $3+1/3$ and $3+1/5$ Fractional Quantum Hall States

Abstract

In this work we report the opening of an energy gap at the filling factor $\nu =3+1/3$, firmly establishing the ground state as a fractional quantum Hall state. This and other odd-denominator states unexpectedly break particle-hole symmetry. Specifically, we find that the relative magnitudes of the energy gaps of the $\nu =3+1/3$ and $3+1/5$ states from the upper spin branch are reversed when compared to the $\nu =2+1/3$ 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.
