Study of Low Energy Spin Rotons in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect

Abstract

Motivated by the discovery of extremely low energy collective modes in the fractional quantum Hall effect (Kang, Pinczuk {\em et al.}), with energies below the Zeeman energy, we study theoretically the spin reversed excitations for fractional quantum Hall states at $\nu =2/5$ and 3/7 and find qualitatively different behavior than for $\nu =1/3$. We find that a low-energy, charge-neutral "spin roton," associated with spin reversed excitations that involve a change in the composite-fermion Landau level index, has energy in reasonable agreement with experiment.
