Comments on "Fractional Quantum Hall Effect of Composite Fermions, W. Pan, et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 016801 (2003)

Abstract

It is shown that even number of flux quanta are not attached to one electron. The magnetic flux is not detached from the currents and the E and H separation does not occur in the quantum Hall effect, where E is the electric vector and H is the magnetic vector of the electro- magnetic field. We show how a sequence can agree with the experimental data and be wrong also. It is not possible for three electrons to carry 8 flux quanta. There is no temperature in the composite fermion formulas. It may be perfectly acceptable to modify the Biot and Savart's law which is the fundamental law used for making electromagnets but the CFs are internally inconsistent and hence are not suitable as part of fundamentally correct physics.
