Research Abstract |
The purpose of the present project is to investigate versatile phases arising from spin and/or layr degrees of freedom in the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) system. In the 1995 fiscal year, we have focussed on the composite fermion picture for the double-layr FQH system. In a double system the strength of inter-layr tunnelling enters as a new energy scale. We have found the following : ・ The composite fermion picture is a good approximation even for the excited states (pseudo-spin wave) in double-layr systems. ・ We can describe the double-layr FQH system with the phase diagram on the tunneling strength and the layr separation. The quantum Hall region is identified from a finite gap in the low-lying excitation (which is exactly the pseudo-spin wave). The composite picture has enabled us to obtaine for the first time the phase diagram for the fractional double-layr system. The quantum Hall region widens dramatically as the Landau-level filling degreases to 1/3,1/5, ..., which is due to the fact that the composite-particle transformation diminishes the interaction while keeping the tunnelling unchanged. ・ We have a vertically coupled double dot if we confine the electrons in a double-layr into quantum dots. We have proposed this system, and have shown that (i) there is a series of new magic numbers in the total angular momentum specific to double dots, and (ii) these magic numbers may be observed with the optical absorption.
