Tilt-Induced Phase Transitions in Even-Denominator Fractional Quantum   Hall States at the ZnO Interface
  Even denominator fractional quantum Hall states in a ZnO quantum well reveal interesting phase transitions in a tilted magnetic field. We have analyzed the planar electron gas in ZnO, confined in a parabolic potential in the third dimension, perpendicular to the plane of the electron gas. Since the Landau level gap is very small in this system we have included the screened Coulomb potential in order to include the effects of all the Landau levels. We observe an incompressible state - compressible state phase transition induced by the tilted field. Additionally, the 5/2 state has been experimentally found to be missing in this system. We however propose that a wider quantum well may help to stabilize the incompressible phase at the 5/2 filling factor.
