Paired states in half-filled Landau levels

Milica V. Milovanović

We discuss monolayer and bilayer quantum Hall systems in which each layer is a half-filled Landau level (LL) system. In the mean field approximation of the Son's formalism, there is a common pairing structure that underlines the possibilities for paired ground states in both systems. We argue that the particle-hole (PH) Pfaffian state in the (particle-hole symmetric) half-filled LL of a monolayer, and analogous state in the PH symmetric bilayer (in which each layer is half-filled LL) can be considered as critical states, i.e., states that cannot describe a phase under PH symmetry. We point out that the inclusion of a PH symmetry breaking (like LL mixing) may stabilize the PH Pfaffian in a monolayer. In the bilayer case, in numerical experiments on a sphere, by choosing the PH symmetric shift, we can stabilize the interlayer correlated (111) excitonic state or critical state, for any distance between the layers, but in general, with no bias, the evolution of the bilayer includes other phases.

Particle-Hole Symmetry and the ν=52 Quantum Hall State

Sung-Sik Lee, Shinsei Ryu, Chetan Nayak +1 more

We discuss the implications of approximate particle-hole symmetry in a half-filled Landau level in which a paired quantum Hall state forms. We note that the Pfaffian state is not particle-hole symmetric. Therefore, in the limit of vanishing Landau-level mixing, in which particle-hole transformation is an exact symmetry, the Pfaffian spontaneously breaks this symmetry. There is a particle-hole conjugate state, which we call the anti-Pfaffian, which is degenerate with the Pfaffian in this limit. We observe that strong Landau-level mixing should favor the Pfaffian, but it is an open problem which state is favored for the moderate Landau-level mixing which is present in experiments. We discuss the bulk and edge physics of the anti-Pfaffian. We analyze a simplified model in which transitions between analogs of the two states can be studied in detail. Finally, we discuss experimental implications.
