Abstract

Two-dimensional electrons in high magnetic field behave like new particles to which an even number of magnetic flux quanta has been attached. They are termed composite fermions. Several properties of composite fermions such as mass and ballistic motion have been observed in the past. This paper presents measurement of their interaction with impurities and acoustic phonons and establishes the spin and g-factor of a composite fermion.
