Magneto-roton excitation of fractional quantum Hall effect: Comparison between theory and experiment

arXiv:cond-mat/9910491 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.61.13064

Abstract

A major obstacle toward a {\em quantitative} verification, by comparison to experiment, of the theory of the excitations of the fractional quantum Hall effect has been the lack of a proper understanding of disorder. We circumvent this problem by studying the {\em neutral} magneto-roton excitations, whose energy is expected to be largely insensitive to disorder. The calculated energies of the roton at 1/3, 2/5 and 3/7 fillings of the lowest Landau level are in good agreement with those measured experimentally.
