Marginal metallic state at a fractional filling of ’8/5’ and ’4/3’ of Landau levels in the GaAs/AlGaAs 2D electron system

Abstract A metallic state with a vanishing activation gap, at a filling factor $$\nu = 8/5$$ ν = 8 / 5 in the untilted specimen with $$n= 2 \times 10^{11} cm^{-2}$$ n = 2 × 10 11 c m - 2 , and at $$\nu = 4/3$$ ν = 4 / 3 at $$n=1.2 \times 10^{11} cm^{-2}$$ n = 1.2 × 10 11 c m - 2 under a $$\theta = 6...
