Abstract
We develop a magneto-transport theory for the nonlocal response of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the Fractional Quantum Hall Regime near ν=1/2 in the presence of a periodic density modulation. We introduce a new generic model of a deformed Composite Fermion–Fermi Surface (CF–FS). Our model permits us to explain recent surface acoustic wave observations of anisotropic anomalies1 in sound velocity and attenuation, such as appearance of peaks and anisotropy, which originate from contributions to the conductivity tensor due to regions of the CF–FS which are flattened by the applied modulation. The calculated magnetic field and wave vector dependence of the CF conductivity, velocity shift and attenuation agree with experiments.
