Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 176807 (2009) [4 pages]Observable Bulk Signatures of Non-Abelian Quantum Hall StatesReceived 17 December 2008; published 30 April 2009 We show that non-Abelian quantum Hall states can be identified by experimental measurements of the temperature dependence of either the electrochemical potential or the orbital magnetization. The predicted signals of non-Abelian statistics are within experimental resolution, and can be clearly distinguished from other contributions under realistic circumstances. The proposed measurement technique also has the potential to resolve spin-ordering transitions in low density electronic systems in the Wigner crystal and strongly interacting Luttinger liquid regimes. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
