Signatures for 14 (5) distinct incompressible FQHE states are seen in a high (low) mobility sample with the enigmatic 5/2 even denominator FQHE having a large activation gap of $\\sim$600 ($\\sim$300mK) in the high (low) mobility sample. Our measured large relative gaps for 5/2, 7/3, and 8/3 FQHE indicate emergence of exotic FQHE correlations in the second Ladau level, possibly quite different from the well-known lowest Landau level Laughlin correlations. Our measured 5/2 gap is found to be in reasonable agreement with the theoretical gap once finite width and disorder broadening corrections are taken into account.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2007-07-03T04:16:20.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.-f", "73.21.Fg" ], "keywords": [ "fractional quantum hall effect", "second landau level", "lowest landau level laughlin correlations" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2008, "month": "Feb", "volume": 77, "number": 8, "pages": "081301" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvB..77h1301C" } } }
