We identified this state by a quantized Hall resistance and an activated temperature dependence of the longitudinal resistance and found an energy gap of 40 mK. To our surprise the particle-hole conjugate state at filling factor $\\nu=7/3$ in our sample does not develop down to 6.9 mK. This observation is contrary to that in electron samples in which the 7/3 state is typically more stable than the 8/3 state. We present evidence that the asymmetry between the 7/3 and 8/3 states in our hole sample is due to Landau level mixing.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2011-05-15T02:51:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.-f", "73.63.Hs" ], "keywords": [ "fractional quantum hall state", "two-dimensional hole system", "second landau level", "particle-hole asymmetry" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevB.83.201305", "year": 2011, "month": "May", "volume": 83, "number": 20, "pages": 201305 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011PhRvB..83t1305K" } } }
