Figure 5: Comparison of exact and composite fermion (CF) density profiles for fractional skyrmions.

From: Fractionally charged skyrmions in fractional quantum Hall effect

Figure 5

This figure shows the total density (ρ) and the density of spin-up particles for fractional skyrmion (FS) (blue) and FS+ (red) obtained from exact (dotted and dashed lines) and CF diagonalization (filled and empty symbols). A near perfect overlay of the CF and exact curves shows that the wave function of the FS obtained from CF diagonalization is almost identical to the exact one. The results are for 12 particles, and the density is quoted in units of the density of the uniform 1/3 state, denoted by ρ0.
