Possible pairing-induced even-denominator fractional quantum Hall effect in the lowest Landau level

We report on our theoretical investigations that point to the possibility of a fractional quantum Hall effect with partial spin polarization at nu = 3/8. The physics of the incompressible state proposed here involves p-wave pairing of composite fermions in the spin reversed sector. The temperature a...

Description
Summary:We report on our theoretical investigations that point to the possibility of a fractional quantum Hall effect with partial spin polarization at nu = 3/8. The physics of the incompressible state proposed here involves p-wave pairing of composite fermions in the spin reversed sector. The temperature and magnetic field regimes for the realization of this state are estimated.
