The energy gap of the nu = 5/2 state is found to collapse linearly with the in-plane magnetic field above ~0.5 T. In contrast, a strong enhancement of the gap is observed for the nu = 7/3 state. The radically distinct tilted-field behaviour between the two states is discussed in terms of Zeeman and magneto-orbital coupling within the context of the proposed Moore-Read pfaffian wavefunction for the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall effect.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2008-10-01T14:29:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.-f", "03.67.-a", "73.63.Hs" ], "keywords": [ "fractional quantum hall effect", "tilted field", "contrasting behavior", "in-plane magnetic field", "fractional quantum hall state" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Oct", "volume": 101, "number": 18, "pages": 186806 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.101r6806D" } } }
