摘要
We have determined the energy gaps of both prominent sequences of fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) states at filling factor nu=p/(2p +/- 1) around nu=1/2. The gaps increase linearly with DELTAB, the deviation of the magnetic field from half filling. Therefore, the data are indistinguishable from Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations of particles of charge e, effective mass m*, and lifetime broadening GAMMA exposed to an effective magnetic field DELTAB. Our findings are remarkably consistent with recent proposals of composite particles in the FQHE and the existence of a Fermi surface at even-denominator fillings.
