Phys. Rev. Lett. 103, 206802 (2009) [4 pages]Hamiltonian Theory of Disorder at ν=1/3Received 16 April 2009; published 11 November 2009 The Hamiltonian theory of the fractional quantum Hall regime provides a simple and tractable approach to calculating gaps, polarizations, and many other physical quantities. In this Letter we include disorder in our treatment and show that a simple model with minimal assumptions produces results consistent with a range of experiments. In particular, the interplay between disorder and interactions can result in experimental signatures which mimic those of spin textures. © 2009 The American Physical Society URL:
