* ABSTRACT | |||||||
Since the discovery of the BCS theory, the possibility of a pairing mechanism in nature which is other than that of phonon exchange has attracted intensive interest. While it is well established by now that various atomic systems become paired states in certain situations, atoms are charge neutral and the effective interactomic interaction responsible for pairing is simply attractive. Therefore, remains the question whether there is a genuine pairing mechanism caused by the repulsive interaction alone. In this talk, I would like to focus on such a candidate in strongly correlated electron systems: the fractional quantum Hall state in the half-filled second Landau level. |
