Abstract

Two dimensional electrons in a strong magnetic field show the fractional quantum Hall effect at low temperatures. This effect is explained successfully by a discovery of a new liquid type ground state. However the infinitely strong magnetic field has been assumed in existing theories. Here the ground state around one third filling of the lowest Landau level is investigated at a finite magnetic field by numerical diagonalization of the Hamiltonian. When the cyclotron energy is not too small compared to a typical Coulomb energy, no qualitative change of the ground state is found: A natural generalization of the liquid state at the infinite magnetic field describes the ground state. Excitation energies of quasiparticles decrease as the magnetic field decreases.
