Symmetry-breaking skyrmion states in fractional quantum Hall systems
Abstract
We calculate in an analyical fashion the energies and net spins of skyrmions in fractional quantum Hall systems, based on the suggestion that skyrmion states are spontaneously LZ and SZ symmetry-breaking states. The quasihole-skyrmion state with a charge -e/3 around = 1/3, where the ground state is known as a spin-polarized ferromagnetic state, is found to exist even in high magnetic fields up to about 7 T for GaAs samples.
