Many-body wave functions for correlated systems in magnetic fields: Monte Carlo simulations in the lowest Landau level

Limits of Applicability of the Composite Fermion Model

The popular model of composite fermions, proposed in order to rationalize FQHE, were insufficient in view of recent experimental observations in graphene monolayer and bilayer, in higher Landau levels in GaAs and in so-called enigmatic FQHE states in the lowest Landau level of GaAs. The specific FQHE hierarchy in double Hall systems of GaAs 2DES and graphene also cannot be explained in the framework of composite fermions. We identify the limits of the usability of the composite fermion model by means of topological methods, which elucidate the phenomenological assumptions in composite fermion structure and admit further development of FQHE understanding. We demonstrate how to generalize these ideas in order to explain experimentally observed FQHE phenomena, going beyond the explanation ability of the conventional composite fermion model.
