"Subband engineering even-denominator quantum Hall states," PHYSICAL REVIEW B 82(12): 121304. DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevB.82.1213041098-0121http://hdl.handle.net/10919/25419Proposed even-denominator fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) states suggest the possibility of excitations with non-Abelian braid statistics. Recent experiments on wide square quantum wells indicate even-denominator FQHE even under electrostatic tilt. We theoretically analyze these structures and develop a procedure to accurately test proposed quantum Hall wave functions. We find that tilted wells favor partial subband polarization to yield Abelian even-denominator states. Our results show that tilting quantum wells effectively engineers different interaction potentials allowing exploration of a wide variety of even-denominator states.en-USIn Copyrightelectron-systemcomputationanyonsfluidwellsPhysicsArticle - Refereedhttp://link.aps.org/doi/10.1103/PhysRevB.82.121304https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.82.121304
