Abstract
We report the unexpected bunching of Laughlin's quasiparticles, induced by an extremely weak backscattering potential at exceptionally low electron temperatures (T<10 mK), deduced from shot noise measurements. Backscattered charges q=nue, specifically, q=e/3, q=2e/5, and q<3e/7, in the respective filling factors, were measured. For the same settings but at a slightly higher electron temperature, the measured backscattered charges were q=e/3, q=e/5, and q=e/7, as expected. Moreover, the backscattered current exhibited distinct temperature dependence that was correlated to the backscattered charge and the filling factor. This observation suggests the existence of "low" and "high" temperature backscattering states, each with its characteristic charge and energy.Year: 2003 PMID: 14683329 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.91.216804
