Robust electron pairing in the integer quantum hall effect regime

Abstract: Electron pairing is a rare phenomenon appearing only in a few unique physical systems; for example, superconductors and Kondo-correlated quantum dots. Here, we report on an unexpected electron pairing in the integer quantum Hall effect regime. The pairing takes place within an interfering edge channel in an electronic Fabry-Perot interferometer at a wide range of bulk filling factors, between 2 and 5. We report on three main observations: high-visibility Aharonov-Bohm conductance oscillations with magnetic flu… Show more

“…This suggests that although distinct edge states exist, below 1.2T they are too close to one another to be interfered independently; therefore at filling factors v bulk > 4 we show a single velocity measurement for each Landau level, while at lower fillings we show both spins when resolved. We also mention that we observe the same period-halving phenomenon in our device that was reported in previous interferometry experiments [28,29]; see Supp. Note 4 and Supp.…”

“…On the other hand, in the geometry of figure 1(b) the exponent diverges in all singularities and the frequency doubling does not occur ( figure 4(d)). Note also a similarity with the period doubling observed in an interferometry experiment [41].…”

“…These methods include interedge tunneling [5][6][7][8][9], probing upstream neutral modes [10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18], and various interferometry schemes [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35]. The latter approach stimulated much work on interferometry at other filling factors which brought several enigmatic experimental results [39][40][41]. In order to understand those results and interpret the experiments about topological orders in the second Landau level, it is imperative to achieve a better understanding of edge physics in the QHE.…”
