H. Sugahara et al., New macroscopic quantum state in perovskite-crystalline conductor with localized carrier system, INT J MOD B, 14(10), 2000, pp. 1025-1035
The large zero-point oscillation of energy similar to 0.1-1 eV of strong co
upling hole carriers in layered perovskite (LP) conductor is shown to provi
de effective field B* similar to 10(3-4) T causing fractional quantum Hall
effect (FQHE) when space charge and moderate localization are present. The
quasiparticle excitation spectrum of the FQHE system is calculated. The FQH
E state is a macroscopic quantum state where macroscopic interference effec
t is expected. Using (001) La2-xSrxCuO4-y (LSCO) film, we observed "dc diel
ectric interference" and the interference effect at 28 THz, which are expli
cable by the FQHE in the layered perovskite film.
