LOGARITHMIC TEMPERATURE-DEPENDENCE OF CONDUCTIVITY AT HALF-INTEGER FILLING FACTORS - EVIDENCE FOR INTERACTION BETWEEN COMPOSITE FERMIONS

We have studied the temperature dependence of diagonal conductivity in high-mobility two-dimensional samples at filling factors nu = 1/2 and 3/2 at low temperatures. We observe a logarithmic dependence on temperature, from our lowest temperature of 13 mK up to 400 mK. We attribute the logarithmic correction to the effects of interaction between composite fermions, analogous to the Altshuler-Aronov-type correction for electrons at zero magnetic field.
