Abstract:
The activation gap Delta of the fractional quantum Hall states at constant fillings nu=2/3 and 2/5 has been measured as a function of the perpendicular magnetic field B. A linear dependence of Delta on B is observed while approaching the spin-polarization transition. This feature allows a direct measurement of the g factor of composite fermions which appears to be heavily renormalized by interactions and strongly sensitive to the electronic filling factor.

Fermi Level Dynamics
Electron affinity in semiconductors refers to the energy gap between the minimum of its conduction band and the vacuum level and it is a critical parameter in determining how easily a semiconductor can accept additional electrons.

Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must have a...
