Phase transitions and topological properties of the 5/2 quantum Hall states with strong Landau-level mixing

Abstract

We numerically study a 5/2 fractional quantum Hall system with even number of electrons using the exact diagonalization where both the strong Landau level (LL) mixing and a finite width of the quantum well have been considered and adapted into a screened Coulomb interaction. With the principal component analysis, we are able to recognize a compressible-incompressible phase transition in the parameter space made of the magnetic field and the quantum well width by the competition between the first two leading components of the ground states wave functions, which is consistent with the low-lying spectral feature and previous works in the odd-electron system. In addition, the presence of the subdominant third component suggests an incompressible transition occurring as the LL-mixing strength grows into a certain parameter region associated with the ZnO experiments. We further investigate the strongly LL-mixed phase in this emerging region with the Hall viscosity, wave function overlaps, and the entanglement spectra. Results show it can be well described as a particle-hole symmetrized Pfaffian state with the dual topological properties of the Pfaffian and the anti-Pfaffian states.
