Abstract
We have investigated the universality of the discovery of Clark et al. in n-type GaAs-As single heterojunctions (SHJ’s) that the preexponential factor in activation plots of sample resistivity at fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) ground states is constant [Phys. Rev. Lett. 60, 1747 (1988)] by performing a systematic electrical transport investigation of a number of high-quality p-type SHJ’s. We find =C(h/) for FQHE states at filling factor ν=p/q where C is a constant close to unity, in very good agreement with results reported for n-type SHJ’s demonstrating this phenomenon to be a robust and universal property.
