Abstract:
We show that non-Abelian quantum Hall states can be identified by experimental measurements of the temperature dependence of either the electrochemical potential or the orbital magnetization. The predicted signals of non-Abelian statistics are within experimental resolution, and can be clearly distinguished from other contributions under realistic circumstances. The proposed measurement technique also has the potential to resolve spin-ordering transitions in low density electronic systems in the Wigner crystal and strongly interacting Luttinger liquid regimes.

As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are slanted or...
