Abstract

Energy gaps in the fractional quantum Hall regime are measured with phonon spectroscopy for various electron densities and filling factors ν = 1/3, 2/5, 4/7, 3/5, 2/3, 4/3, and 5/3. At a given filling factor nearly all gaps measured show a square-root dependence on the magnetic field. The measured gaps can be described well with composite fermion theory: They are transitions between composite fermion Landau levels that are not affected by disorder on phonon wavelength. All transitions can be described by one single fit parameter related to the composite fermion effective mass. In contrast, the gaps at filling factor ν = 2/3 in the high fields regime show a linear field dependence. This hints onto an only partially polarized ground state of 2/3.
