Abstract:
We show that a weak hexagonal periodic potential can transform a two-dimensional electron gas with an even-denominator magnetic filling factor into an quantum anomalous hall insulator of composite fermions, giving rise to the fractionally quantized Hall effect. The system provides a realization of the Haldane honeycomb-net model, albeit in a composite fermion system. We further propose a trial wave function for the state, and numerically evaluate its relative stability against the competing Hofstadter state. Possible sets of experimental parameters are proposed.
