Anomalously low magnetoroton energies of the unconventional fractional quantum Hall States of composite fermions

Abstract

We show a generic formation of the primary magnetorotons in the collective modes of the observed "unconventional" fractional quantum Hall effect states of the composite fermions at the filling factors 4/11, 4/13, 5/13, 5/17, and 3/8 at very low wave vectors with anomalously low energies which do not have any analog to the conventional fractional quantum Hall states. Rather slow decay of the oscillations of the pair-correlation functions in these states is responsible for the low-energy magnetorotons. This is a manifestation of the distinct topology predicted previously for these fractional quantum Hall effect states. Experimental consequences of our theory are also discussed.
