在 GaAs 中观察到 ν=1/2 分数量子霍尔态中电荷 e/4 的准粒子,通过射频噪声测量验证了其拓扑序特性。

摘要:

即使分母为偶数的分数量子霍尔态(FQHS)也超出了标准的 Laughlin 和 Jain 奇数分母层次结构。在本工作中,我们研究了最低朗德能级中的 FQHS ν=1/2。该状态被限制在 70 纳米宽的 GaAs 量子阱中,其中电子表现出类似双层的电荷分布。层间相互作用稳定了 ν=1/2 的 FQHS,该状态被预测会宿主具有电荷 e/4 的准粒子,具有阿贝尔或非阿贝尔拓扑序。在此,我们报告了在 ν=1/2 中对分割准粒子的射频噪声测量,其中电荷分割由独特的刻蚀定义量子点接触生成。我们的测量是在两个名义上相同的设备上进行的,在两个独立的实验设置中完成。在每个设备中弱反散射区域的射频噪声分析揭示了电荷 e/4 的准粒子。这些观察为未来研究提供了清晰的基准,旨在探测 ν=1/2 FQHS 的拓扑序及其准粒子的交换统计。

英文摘要:

Even-denominator fractional quantum Hall states (FQHSs) fall outside the standard Laughlin's and Jain's odd-denominator hierarchy. In this work, we study the FQHS $ν=1/2$ in the lowest Landau level. The state is confined within a 70 nm-wide GaAs quantum well, where the electrons exhibit a bilayer-like charge distribution. Inter-layer interactions stabilize the $ν=1/2$ FQHS, which is predicted to host quasiparticles with charge e/4 - with either Abelian or non-Abelian topological order. Here, we report on shot-noise measurements of partitioned quasiparticles at $ν=1/2$, where charge partitioning is generated by a unique etch-defined quantum point contact. Our measurements were performed on two nominally identical devices, at two independent experimental setups. Analysis of shot noise in the weak-backscattering regime in each device reveals quasiparticles with charge e/4. These observations provide a clear benchmark for future studies aimed at probing the topological order of the $ν=1/2$ FQHS and its quasiparticles' exchange statistics.
