Wave function in Many electron system Landau wave function of electron for L=0 Attention please. Hall voltage is extremely larger than potential voltage for IQHE and FQHE. Accordingly there is no symmetry between x and y directions. the center position moves to the right. This is the many electron state When the momentum increases, The position c is proportional to the momentum. the center position moves to the left. When the momentum decreases,

Special transitions via the Coulomb interactions before after Equivalent interaction electron orbital Electron distribution after transition is exactly the same as that before transition. Therefore this partial Hamiltonian should be solved exactly because of the energy-degeneracy. electron A electron B electron orbitals transition 1 DC This interaction is equivalent to the spin exchange with next form: electron A transition electron B Total momentum conserves.

Indian Journal of Physics ν =4/7ν =3/5 Finite temperature 9 = 1 Ratio of critical field strength He wrote as follows: For spinful composite fermions, we write = + , where = and  are the filling factors of up and down spin composite fermions. The possible spin polarizations of the various FQHE states are then predicted by analogy to the IQHE of spinful electrons. For example, the 4/7 state maps into = 4, where we expect, from a model that neglects interaction between composite fermions, a spin singlet state at very low Zeeman energies (with = 2 + 2), a partially spin polarized state at intermediate Zeeman energies ( = 3 + 1), and a fully spin polarized state at large Zeeman energies ( = 4 + 0). ν =4/7 ?

Theoretical curve of Spin Polarization Small shoulder We should explain the small shoulders. We try it. Red points indicate the experimental data by Kukushkin et al. Blue curves show our results. Thus the theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. These small shoulders exist certainly in the data. Shosuke Sasaki, Surface Science 566 (2004) , ibid 532 (2003)

Spin Peierls effect The interval becomes narrower in the second and fourth unit-cell and so on. =2/3 Let us find the value t which gives the minimum energy. The classical Coulomb energy is expressed by t as; where C is the parameter depending upon devices. where are the coupling constants for non-deformation, and are also dependent upon devices. narrower wider We express this deformation by the parameter t. We take account of the famous mechanism “spin Peierls effect” into consideration. The interval between Landau orbitals becomes wider in the first and third unit-cell like this.

Summary of theoretical calculation Our treatment is simple and fundamental without any quasi-particle. We have found a unique electron-configuration with the minimum classical Coulomb energy. For this unique configuration there are many spin arrangements which are degenerate. We succeed to diagonalize exactly the partial Hamiltonian which includes the strongest and second strongest interactions. Then the results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The composite fermion theory has some difficulties for the spin polarization. It is necessary to measure the polarization and its direction, especially, at  = 4/5 and 6/5. The shapes of polarization curves and the direction are very important to clarify the FQHE.
