Abstract

We discuss the Berry curvature calculations of the Hall viscosity for the Fermi-liquid-like state, i.e., a Fermi-liquid state of underlying composite particles of the Hall system. We conclude, within assumptions made, that in the linear response, with small deformation of the system and in the thermodynamic limit, the Hall viscosity takes the value characteristic for the Laughlin states. We present arguments that the value is the same even for general deformations in the same limit.

Hall viscosity of the composite-fermion Fermi seas for fermions and bosons

Songyang Pu

The Hall viscosity has been proposed as a topological property of incompressible fractional quantum Hall states and can be evaluated as Berry curvature. This paper reports on the Hall viscosities of composite-fermion Fermi seas at $\ensuremath{\nu}=1/m$, where $m$ is even for fermions and odd for bosons. A well-defined value for the Hall viscosity is not obtained by viewing the $1/m$ composite-fermion Fermi seas as the $n\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$ limit of the Jain $\ensuremath{\nu}=n/(nm\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1)$ states, whose Hall viscosities $(\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}n+m)\ensuremath{\hbar}\ensuremath{\rho}/4$ ($\ensuremath{\rho}$ is the two-dimensional density) approach $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}\ensuremath{\infty}$ in the limit $n\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$. A direct calculation shows that the Hall viscosities of the composite-fermion Fermi sea states are finite and also relatively stable with system size variation, although they are not topologically quantized in the entire $\ensuremath{\tau}$ space. I find that the $\ensuremath{\nu}=1/2$ composite-fermion Fermi sea wave function for a square torus yields a Hall viscosity that is expected from particle-hole symmetry and is also consistent with the orbital spin of $1/2$ for Dirac composite fermions. I compare my numerical results with some theoretical conjectures.

Berry phase in the composite Fermi liquid

Guangyue Ji, Junren Shi

We derive the definition of the Berry phase for the adiabatic transport of a composite fermion (CF) in a half-filled composite Fermi liquid (CFL).It is found to be different from that adopted in previous investigations by Geraedts et al.For the standard CFL wave function, we analytically show that the Berry curvature is uniformly distributed in the momentum space.For the Jain-Kamilla wave function, we numerically show that its Berry curvature has a continuous distribution inside the Fermi sea and vanishes outside.We conclude that the CF with respect to both the microscopic wave functions is not a massless Dirac particle.

Hall viscosity of hierarchical quantum Hall states

Mikael Fremling, T. H. Hansson, Juha Suorsa

Using methods based on conformal field theory, we construct model wave functions on a torus with arbitrary flat metric for all chiral states in the abelian quantum Hall hierarchy. These functions have no variational parameters, and they transform under the modular group in the same way as the multicomponent generalizations of the Laughlin wave functions. Assuming the absence of Berry phases upon adiabatic variations of the modular parameter $τ$, we calculate the quantum Hall viscosity and find it to be in agreement with the formula, given by Read, which relates the viscosity to the average orbital spin of the electrons. For the filling factor $ν=2/5$ Jain state, which is at the second level in the hierarchy, we compare our model wave function with the numerically obtained ground state of the Coulomb interaction Hamiltonian in the lowest Landau level, and find very good agreement in a large region of the complex $τ$-plane. For the same example, we also numerically compute the Hall viscosity and find good agreement with the analytical result for both the model wave function and the numerically obtained Coulomb wave function. We argue that this supports the notion of a generalized plasma analogy that would ensure that wave functions obtained using the conformal field theory methods do not acquire Berry phases upon adiabatic evolution.

The Universal Composite Fermion Hall Conductance at $ν=1/2$

Lee, D-H, Yu. A. Krotov, Junwu Gan +1 more

We show that at electronic filling factor $ν=1/2$, the lowest Landau level constraint implies that at any temperature, and in the presence of {\it any} amount of particle-hole symmetric disorder, the {\it composite fermion} Hall conductivity is precisely $-e^2/2h$. (The electronic Hall conductivity is $e^2/2h$.) This is inconsistent with the response of a composite Fermi liquid in {\it zero} effective magnetic field. We also examine perturbatively the nature of the putative composite Fermi liquid in the case in which the bare particles are anyons with ``nearly'' Fermi statistics.

Adiabatic deformations of quantum Hall droplets

Blagoje Oblak, Benoit Estienne

We consider area-preserving deformations of the plane, acting on electronic wave functions through “quantomorphisms” that change both the underlying metric and the confining potential. We show that adiabatic sequences of such transformations produce Berry phases that can be written in closed form in terms of the many-body current and density, even in the presence of interactions. For a large class of deformations that generalize squeezing and shearing, the leading piece of the phase is a super-extensive Aharonov-Bohm term ( \propto N^2 ∝ N 2 for N N electrons) in the thermodynamic limit. Its gauge-invariant subleading partner only measures the current, whose dominant contribution to the phase stems from a jump at the edge in the limit of strong magnetic fields. This results in a finite Berry curvature per unit area, reminiscent of the Hall viscosity. We show that the latter is in fact included in our formalism, bypassing its standard derivation on a torus and suggesting realistic experimental setups for its observation in quantum simulators.

Numerical Study of Quantum Hall Bilayers at Total Filling νT=1 : A New Phase at Intermediate Layer Distances

Zheng Zhu, Liang Fu, D. N. Sheng

We study the phase diagram of quantum Hall bilayer systems with total filing ν_{T}=1/2+1/2 of the lowest Landau level as a function of layer distances d. Based on numerical exact diagonalization calculations, we obtain three distinct phases, including an exciton superfluid phase with spontaneous interlayer coherence at small d, a composite Fermi liquid at large d, and an intermediate phase for 1.1<d/l_{B}<1.8 (l_{B} is the magnetic length). The transition from the exciton superfluid to the intermediate phase is identified by (i) a dramatic change in the Berry curvature of the ground state under twisted boundary conditions on the two layers and (ii) an energy level crossing of the first excited state. The transition from the intermediate phase to the composite Fermi liquid is identified by the vanishing of the exciton superfluid stiffness. Furthermore, from our finite-size study, the energy cost of transferring one electron between the layers shows an even-odd effect and possibly extrapolates to a finite value in the thermodynamic limit, indicating the enhanced intralayer correlation. Our identification of an intermediate phase and its distinctive features shed new light on the theoretical understanding of the quantum Hall bilayer system at total filling ν_{T}=1.

The Universal Composite Fermion Hall Conductance at ν=1/2ν=1/2ν=1/2
We show that at electronic filling factor ν=1/2ν=1/2ν=1/2, the lowest Landau level constraint implies that at any temperature, and in the presence of {\it any} amount of particle-hole symmetric disorder, the {\it composite fermion} Hall conductivity is precisely −e2/2h-e^2/2h−e2/2h. (The electronic Hall conductivity is e2/2he^2/2he2/2h.) This is inconsistent with the response of a composite Fermi liquid in {\it zero} effective magnetic field. We also examine perturbatively the nature of the putative composite Fermi liquid in the case in which the bare particles are anyons with ``nearly'' Fermi statistics.
