Interlayer Pairing Symmetry of Composite Fermions in Quantum Hall Bilayers

arXiv:1609.09063 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.118.166401

Abstract

We study the pairing symmetry of the interlayer paired state of composite fermions in quantum Hall bilayers. Based on the Halperin-Lee-Read (HLR) theory, the effect of the long-range Coulomb interaction and the internal Chern-Simons gauge fluctuation is analyzed with the random-phase approximation beyond the leading order contribution in small momentum expansion, and we observe that the interlayer paired states with a relative angular momentum are energetically favored for filling and . The degeneracy between states with is lifted by the interlayer density-current interaction arising from the interplay of the long-range Coulomb interaction and the Chern-Simons term in the HLR theory.
