The electron density can be tuned from n=0 to 7.6 \\times 10^{11} cm^{-2} with a peak mobility \\mu = 5.5 \\times 10^6 cm^2/Vs. The \\nu=5/2 state shows a strong minimum in diagonal resistance and a developing Hall plateau at magnetic fields as high as 12.6T. The strength of the energy gap varies smoothly with B-field. We interpret these observations as strong evidence for a spin-polarized ground state at \\nu=5/2.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2001-04-10T02:37:55.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "spin-polarized ground state", "experimental evidence", "even-denominator fractional quantum hall effect", "heterojunction insulated gate field-effect transistor" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
