Near the crossing, the fractional quantum Hall states in the filling factor range $1<\\nu<3$ exhibit a remarkable sequence of pseudospin polarization transitions resulting from the interplay between the spin and subband degrees of freedom. The field positions of the transitions yield a new and quantitative measure of the composite Fermions' discrete energy level separations. Surprisingly, the separations are smaller when the electrons have higher spin-polarization.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-01-28T00:39:26.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "multicomponent fractional quantum hall states", "spin degrees", "wide gaas quantum wells", "discrete energy level separations", "parallel magnetic field" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
