Hole-flux Composite Fermion Commensurability Oscillations    [PDF]

D. Kamburov, M. Shayegan, L. N. Pfeiffer, K. W. West, K. W. Baldwin
We report the observation of commensurability oscillations of hole-flux composite fermions near filling factor $\nu=1/2$ in a high-mobility two-dimensional hole system confined to a GaAs quantum well, and subjected to a weak, strain-induced, unidirectional periodic potential modulation. The oscillations, which are consistent with ballistic transport of fully spin-polarized composite fermions in a weak periodic effective magnetic field, are surprisingly strong and exhibit up to third-order minima. We extract a ballistic mean-free-path of about 0.2 $\mu$m for the hole-flux composite fermions.
