Abstract
In photoluminescence spectroscopy of a low-mobility two-dimensional electron gas subjected to a quantizing magnetic field, we observe an anomaly around at a very low temperature (0.1 K) and an intermediate electron density (). The anomaly is explained as due to perturbation of the incompressible liquid at the Laughlin state due to close proximity of a localized charged exciton which creates a fractionally charged quasihole in the liquid. The anomaly of can be destroyed by applying a small thermal energy of that is enough to close the quasihole energy gap.
