Composite particles in the Theory of Quantum Hall Effect
Abstract
The formation of composite particles in the electron liquid under QHE conditions discussed by Jain in generalizing Laughlins many-particle state is considered by using a model for two-dimensional guiding center configurations. Describing the self-consistent field of electron repulsion by a negative parabolic potential on effective centers and an inter-center amount we show that with increasing magnetic field the ground state of so-called primary composite particles $ν=\frac{1}{q}$, $q=1,3,5,... $, is given for higher negative quantum numbers of the total angular momentum. By clustering of primary composite particles due to absorption or emission of flux quanta we explain phenomenologically the quasi-particle structure behind the series of relevant filling factors $ν=\frac{p}{q}$, $p=1,2,3,...$. Our considerations show that the complicate interplay of electron-magnetic field and electron-electron interactions in QHE systems may be understood in terms of adding flux quanta $Φ_0$ to charges $e$ and binding of charges by flux quanta.
