Abstract

Among the various geometries to study the fractional quantum Hall effect in two dimensional electron gas, the Corbino disc owns the advantage to probe the bulk properties directly. In this work we explore the influence of in-plane electric fields on the stability of the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall state realized in Corbino geometry. The effect of weak electric fields is investigated at ultra-low temperatures in order to compare with a theoretical proposal of enhanced Pfaffian state under weak electric fields.
