Since this phenomenon results from a minimization of the interaction, rather than the kinetic energy, the EDF states might well exhibit deviations from a conventional Fermi liquid. We show that impurity scattering at EDFs and its interference with electron-electron and electron-phonon interactions provide examples of intrinsically non-Fermi-liquid transport.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1996-12-17T17:13:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lowest landau level", "non-fermi-liquid behavior", "compressible states", "two-dimensional electron gas", "strong magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
