2 Quantum Hall Effect Magnetic field perpendicular to plane of 2DEG Can measure two quantities: R xx (longitudinal resistance) and R xy (transverse resistance) 2

3 Classical Hall Effect R xx - B independent R xy - Linear in B Classical Hall Effect 3

4 Quantum Hall Effect Integer Quantum Hall Effect 4

5 Quantum Hall Effect Fractional Quantum Hall Effect J.P.Eisenstein and H.L.Stormer, Science 248,1461(1990) 5

6 Quantum Hall Effect Landau levels Quantization of cyclotron orbits Landau levels 6

7 Quantum Hall Effect energy landscape Plateau of n=2 7

8 Quantum Hall Effect energy landscape E Plateau of n=2 two completely filled Landau levels x Bulk of 2DEG no states at m No net current flows in bulk 8

9 Quantum Hall Effect edge states E Near sample edges confining potential causes Landau levels to curl upwards Left edge x Right edge One-dimensional ballistic conduction channels near edges edge states 9

10 Quantum Hall Effect direction of edge states? E For 2-D magneto-electric sub-bands k ~ x 0 /l 0 2 Left edge x Right edge 10

11 Quantum Hall Effect direction of edge states? E Velocity ~ δe/ δk Left edge k Right edge Modes on a given edge move in same direction 11

12 Quantum Hall Effect co-propagating modes In IQHE and most Fractional cases ---- co-propagating charge modes All modes on an edge move in same direction Can carry a net electrical current 12

13 Quantum Hall Effect edge states No backscattering perfect quantization 13

14 Quantum Hall Effect - Neutral edge modes predicted e LL1 LL2 no interactions charge modes are eigen states e/2 neutral e/2 e/2 charge e/2 interactions neutral and charge modes are eigen states co-propagating neutral and charge modes (if they exist) are difficult to separate Berg et al, PRL (2009) 14

15 Quantum Hall Effect counter-propagating modes Upstream (Counter-propagating) modes were predicted : At least one mode flowing down-stream direction Possibly one/more modes flowing in the up-stream direction 15

16 Quantum Hall Effect counter-propagating modes Upstream (Counter-propagating) modes were predicted : particle-hole conjugate states - e.g. 2/3, 3/5,. Majorana modes in non-abelian states - e.g. v=5/2 for certain wavefunctions 16

17 n = 2/3 without disorder and interactions Two counter-propagating charged modes on each edge Two terminal conductance (4/3)e 2 /h in conflict with experiment Interactions non-universal conductance MacDonald, PRL (1990) Wen, PRL (1990) 17

18 n = 2/3 with disorder and interactions Disorder scattering allows equilibration of edges Two counter-propagating modes on each edge Prediction of a counter-propagating charge-neutral mode Kane et al, PRL (1994) 18

19 Why counter-propagating modes? 19

20 Why counter-propagating modes? Composite Fermions n=1/3 three flux quanta per electron e - e - e - Landau level n=1 for composite fermions! 20

21 Why counter-propagating modes? Taken 2 flux quanta per electron attached them to electrons to form the composite fermion Effective number of free flux quanta in system decreases Effective B field felt by composite particles less than the applied magnetic field B B eff eff B 2 0 n B

22 Why counter-propagating modes Case of n=2/3 n,n 2/3 1/2 B eff eff x x As sample edge is approached n decreases n decreases B eff B 1 2 B 1 2 eff E ( n 1/ 2) eff V con 22

23 How to detect neutral modes? via their effect on the tunnelling exponent in narrow constrictions via heat transfer, dissipation, heating of edges Can shot noise help in identifying neutral modes? 23

24 Schematic of device x y z 24

25 Schematic of device Ohmic contacts Metallic gates 25

26 S i (10-28 A 2 /Hz) Shot noise due to partitioning by QPC split metal gate t 6 4 T = 57mK t = At finite V and T current, I (na) S ( 0 ) i 4k B Tg qv 2qI(1 t) coth 2kBT 2kBT qv 26

27 Detection of neutral mode at n =2/3 injecting current from source #2 charge neutral Charge Neutral mode flows clockwise counter-clockwise reaches goes QPC to ground #1 27

28 Detection of neutral mode at n =2/3 28

29 Detection of neutral mode at n =2/3 injecting current from source #2 charge neutral Charge noise created Can be sensed by voltage probe 29

30 Detection of neutral mode at n =2/3 injecting current from source #2 Charge noise created Can be sensed by voltage probe Noise due to fragmentation of neutral quasiparticles 30

31 QPC transmission and shot noise S i ~ t(1-t) 31

32 Sanity check measurements at n=2/5 n=2/5 supports two co-propagating modes on each edge No signature of neutral mode at n=2/5 32

33 Upstream neutral mode at n = 2/5? charge Charge mode flows counter-clockwise no observed effect of I n on shot noise due to I s 33

34 Sanity check comparison between 2/5 and 3/5 34

35 More checks- neutral modes flowing clockwise injecting from source #3 qp no current no excess noise (no heating) 35

36 More checks - what about other normal states? n = 2/3, 3/5, 5/3 and 5/2.. evidence of neutral modes v = 1/3, 1, 4/3, 2.. no evidence of neutral modes 36

37 Interaction of neutral mode with charge mode injecting current from source #1 Charge mode flows counter - clockwise towards QPC Neutral mode flows clockwise reaches ground contact 37

38 Interaction of neutral mode with charge mode injecting current from source #2 what will be the total noise? Charge mode flows counter clockwise - reaches ground contact Neutral mode flows clockwise towards QPC 38

39 Shot noise in the presence of neutral mode, n=2/3 Noise due to charge mode only 20 na 39

40 Shot noise in the presence of neutral mode, n=2/3 e * ~(2/3)e I n = 0 na I n = 2 na e * ~0.45e Quasiparticle charge decreases Temperature increases 40

41 Shot noise in the presence of neutral mode, n=2/3 41

42 Charge evolution in the presence of neutral mode, n=2/3 quasiparticle charge drops to ~1/3e from 2/3e temperature increases by ~15-20mK 42

43 Temperature evolution of e * at n = 2/3 charge drops significantly only at ~ 100mK neutral mode does not affect the charge via temperature increase 43

44 Does temperature affect neutral mode? Shot noise due to neutral mode fragmentation P l 0 exp( l T 2 / l 0 ) l 0 T=10mK l 0 T=25mK 44

45 Does temperature affect neutral mode? Charge evolution due to neutral mode 45

46 What about n = 5/2? what is expected for n =5/2? abelian state - no upstream neutral mode is expected non-abelian state with an upstream neutral (Majorana) mode: Moore-Read Pfaffian wavefunction reconstructed edge anti-pfaffian wavefunction - reconstructed edge with disorder Is there a neutral mode for n =5/2? 46

47 neutral mode at n = 5/2 No significant affect on the transmission 47

48 Shot noise of neutral mode at n=5/2 48

49 Shot noise in the presence of neutral mode at n = 5/2 5.2mV 49

50 Charge evolution in the presence of neutral mode at n = 5/2 50

51 Summary Experimentally demonstrated the existence of neutral mode Produces shot noise at QPC - proportional to t(1-t) and current; depends on the number of neutral modes. Affects Fano factor of shot noise of charge mode and temperature of the tunneling quasiparticles Neutral modes in n=5/2 strong indication of their non-abelian nature Aveek Bid, N. Ofek, H. Inoue, M.
