Half-filled 2D bilayers in a strong magnetic field: Revisiting the fractional quantum Hall effect
S. Das Sarma, Michael R. Peterson
We examine the quantum phase diagram of the fractional quantum Hall effect in the lowest Landau level in half-filled bilayer structures as a function of tunneling strength and laye…
Spontaneous Particle-Hole Symmetry Breaking in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
Michael R. Peterson, Kwon Park, S. Das Sarma
The essence of the fractional quantum Hall effect is believed to be well captured by the Moore-Read Pfaffian (or anti-Pfaffian) description. However, an important mystery r…
Realizing the strongly correlated -Mott state in a fermionic cold atom optical lattice
Michael R. Peterson, Chuanwei Zhang, Sumanta Tewari +1
We show that a new state of matter, the d-wave Mott-insulator state (d-Mott state) (introduced recently by [H. Yao, W. F. Tsai, and S. A. Kivelson, Phys. Rev. B 76, 161104 (2007)])…
Finite Layer Thickness Stabilizes the Pfaffian State for the 5/2 Fractional Quantum Hall Effect: Wavefunction Overlap and Topological Degeneracy
Michael. R. Peterson, Th. Jolicoeur, S. Das Sarma
We find the finite-width, i.e., the layer thickness, of experimental quasi-two dimensional systems produces a physical environment sufficient to stabilize the Moore-Read Pfaffian s…
Orbital Landau level dependence of the fractional quantum Hall effect in quasi-two dimensional electron layers: finite-thickness effects
Michael R. Peterson, Th. Jolicoeur, S. Das Sarma
The fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) in the second orbital Landau level at filling factor 5/2 remains enigmatic and motivates our work. We consider the effect of the quasi-2D…
Thermoelectric effects in a strongly correlated model for NaCoO
Michael R. Peterson, B. Sriram Shastry, Jan O. Haerter
Thermal response functions of strongly correlated electron systems are of appreciable interest to the larger scientific community both theoretically and technologically. Here we fo…
