Enhanced finite-wave-vector conductivity at multiple even-denominator filling factors in two-dimensional electron systems

Abstract
High-frequency surface acoustic waves (>2 GHz, λ4 K), above the temperatures at which the fractional quantum Hall effect is observed. Empirically, the effects represent a series of robust states in two-dimensional electron systems that support gapless excitations. These data are strikingly consistent with a recent theory describing Fermi-surface formation at even denominator ν.
