39. B ≠2, fall well outside the yellow-shaded region of Fig., where the 1/2 FQHE is stable in wide GaAs QWs. An intriguing question is how far the yellow region in Fig. would extend for even wider GaAs QWs, and whether it would ever contain the parameter range where the 1/2 FQHE is stable in double QWs.
40. B at the compressible-FQHE boundary is also nearly a constant and ranges between 8.0 and 9.5.
41. The observation of developing FQHE states in highly asymmetric, wide GaAs QWs near filling factors ν = 1 / 2 and 1/4 was recently reported and was interpreted to suggest that these states might have a one-component origin. Subsequent calculations, however, seem to indicate that these are more likely two-component states, stabilized by a partial subband polarization.
