The sample has a quantum well width of 50 nm and an electron density of $n_e=2.55\\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$. We have performed transport measurements at $T\\sim35$ mK in magnetic fields up to 45 T. When the sample is perpendicular to the applied magnetic field, the diagonal resistance displays a kink at $\\nu=1/4$. Upon tilting the sample to an angle of $\\theta=20.3^o$ a clear FQH state at emerges at $\\nu=1/4$ with a plateau in the Hall resistance and a strong minimum in the diagonal resistance.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-10-13T17:22:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fractional quantum hall state", "wide gaas quantum", "observation", "even-denominator fractional quantum hall", "magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Dec", "volume": 101, "number": 26, "pages": 266804 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.101z6804L" } } }
