Anomalous transport gaps of fractional quantum Hall phases in graphene Landau levels are induced by spin-valley entangled ground states

We evaluate the transport gaps in the most prominent fractional quantum Hall states in the $n=0$ and $n=1$ Landau levels of graphene, accounting for the Coulomb interaction, lattice-scale anisotropies, and one-body terms. We find that the fractional phases in the $n=0$ Landau level are bond ordered, while those in the $n=1$ Landau level are spin-valley entangled. This resolves a long-standing experimental puzzle [F. Amet et al., Nat. Commun. 6, 5838 (2015)] of the contrasting Zeeman dependence of the transport gaps in the two Landau levels. The spin-valley entangled phases host gapless Goldstone modes that can be probed via bulk thermal transport measurements. As a byproduct of our computations, we place strong constraints on the values of the microscopic anisotropic couplings such that these are consistent with all known experimental results.

Abstract

We evaluate the transport gaps in the most prominent fractional quantum Hall states in the $n=0$ and $n=1$ Landau levels of graphene, accounting for the Coulomb interaction, lattice-scale anisotropies, and one-body terms. We find that the fractional phases in the $n=0$ Landau level are bond ordered, while those in the $n=1$ Landau level are spin-valley entangled. This resolves a long-standing experimental puzzle [F. Amet et al., Nat. Commun. 6, 5838 (2015)] of the contrasting Zeeman dependence of the transport gaps in the two Landau levels. The spin-valley entangled phases host gapless Goldstone modes that can be probed via bulk thermal transport measurements. As a byproduct of our computations, we place strong constraints on the values of the microscopic anisotropic couplings such that these are consistent with all known experimental results.
