| contents | We have investigated the low temperature (T) transport properties of fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states in a high-mobility two-dimensional hole gas. According to the composite fermion (CF) model, FQH states stemming from a half-filled Landau level, specifically at filling factors $ν=p/(2p+1) (p=\pm 1,\pm 2,\pm 3,...)$, can be associated with two-flux-attached CFs at the corresponding Lambda filling factor p. The zero-resistance minima and Hall plateaus of these states exhibit unusual temperature dependencies, characterized by rapid increases in width below a threshold temperature around 100 mK. Differential conductivity measurements from Corbino samples reveal that the regimes surrounding the CF liquid display clear nonlinear transport characteristics. This nonlinearity implies that each CF liquid is surrounded by CF solid phase composed of dilute CF excitations. Quantitatively, the applied electric field E influences the motion of CF solid in a way analogous to T, which is dubbed the "E-T duality". Our analysis indicates that this E-T duality is consistent with the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless theory in two-dimensional phase transitions. |
