Collective excitation spectra of dipolar bosonic fractional quantum Hall states

TL;DR

This paper numerically studies collective excitations in dipolar bosonic fractional quantum Hall states, revealing how excitation gaps and spectral weights vary with filling fractions and spin configurations, with implications for experimental detection.

Contribution

It provides the first detailed numerical analysis of collective excitation spectra in dipolar bosonic FQH states considering both spin-conserving and spin-reversed modes.

Findings

Excitation gap increases with filling fraction for both modes.

Double roton features are present only in spin-conserving configurations.

Spectral weight maxima shift towards lower momenta, aiding experimental detection.

Abstract

We numerically investigate the collective excitation of spin-conserving and spin-reversed configuration of rotating diluted ultra-cold dipolar Bose gas. Rotating trapped Bose gas produces a fictitious magnetic field perpendicular to the trapping harmonic potential, which exhibits strongly correlated fractional quantum Hall states. We consider the long-range dipole-dipole interaction and compute the low lying excitations spectrum for the three fractions of the first Jain series $\nu = 1/2, 1/4, 1/6$. We find that for both the spin-conserving and spin-reversed excitation the gap between the fundamental mode and the higher excitation mode increases upon increase in the filling fraction. The fundamental modes and the next higher-energy mode of excitation spectra for each of the three fractions show the presence of double roton for spin-conserving configuration only. Finally we complement our observation by calculating the spectral weight for the fundamental mode of excitation spectra which show the momenta at which the spectral weight exhibits the maxima shifts towards the lower momenta for both the excitations. Our observation for the spectral weight could be related with the inelastic Raman scattering which may be useful for the future experimental study to detect the excitation in ultracold system.
