TLDR
The first direct observation of the cyclotron motion of new quasiparticles in a 2D electron system near 1/2 filling factor is reported, and resonance of a surface sound wave with cyclotrons orbits of charge carriers is observed.
Abstract
We report the first direct observation of the cyclotron motion of new quasiparticles in a 2D electron system near 1/2 filling factor. Just as electrons in a metal geometrically resonate with a sound wave when a magnetic field is applied perpendicular to the sound propagation direction, near 1/2 filling factor we observe resonance of a surface sound wave with cyclotron orbits of charge carriers. The presence of a Fermi surface and geometric resonance of a sound wave with Chern-Simons gauge transformed fermions were explicitly predicted in a recent theory of the half filled Landau level

Imaging the granular structure of high-Tc superconductivity in underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x

TL;DR: In this article, the spatial interrelationships between STM tunneling spectra in underdoped Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+x were investigated and it was shown that the electronic structure can be divided into 3nm diameter domains with superconducting characteristics and local energy gap delta 50(2.5) meV.

High-frequency single-electron transport in a quasi-one-dimensional GaAs channel induced by surface acoustic waves.

TL;DR: An experimental investigation of the direct current induced by transmitting a surface acoustic wave (SAW) through a quasi-one-dimensional (1D) channel defined in a GaAs - AlGaAs heterostructure by a split gate finds that at low SAW power levels the current reveals oscillatory behaviour as a function of the gate voltage with maxima between the plateaux of quantized 1D conductance.

Tunable interacting composite fermion phases in a half-filled bilayer-graphene Landau level.

TL;DR: Graphene is established as a pristine and tunable experimental platform for studying the interplay between topology and quantum criticality, and for detecting non-Abelian qubits.
