Description
We find that the composite Fermi sea at ν=1/2 is on the verge of an instability to triplet pairing of composite fermions. It is argued that a transition into the paired state, described by a Pfaffian wave function, may be induced if the short-range part of the interaction is softened by increasing the thickness of the two-dimensional electron system. copyright 1998 The American Physical Society
