Area dependence of interlayer tunneling in strongly correlated bilayer two - dimensional electron systems at
نویسندگان
چکیده
The area and perimeter dependences of the Josephson-like interlayer tunneling signature of the coherent T=1 quantum Hall phase in bilayer two-dimensional electron systems is examined. Electrostatic top gates of various sizes and shapes are used to locally define distinct T=1 regions in the same sample. Near the phase boundary with the incoherent T=1 state at large layer separation, our results demonstrate that the tunneling conductance in the coherent phase is closely proportional to the total area of the tunneling region. This implies that tunneling at T=1 is a bulk phenomenon in this regime.

Evidence for a finite temperature phase transition and phase competition in a bilayer 2D electron system
We study the Joshepson-like interlayer tunneling signature of the strongly correlated νT = 1 quantum Hall phase in bilayer two-dimensional electron systems as a function of the layer separation, temperature and interlayer charge imbalance. Our results offer strong evidence that a finite temperature phase transition separates the interlayer coherent phase from incoherent phases which lack strong...

متن کاملCharge imbalance and bilayer two-dimensional electron systems at T=1
We use interlayer tunneling to study bilayer two-dimensional electron systems at T=1 over a wide range of charge-density imbalance = 1− 2 between the two layers. We find that the strongly enhanced tunneling associated with the coherent excitonic T=1 phase at small layer separation can survive at least up to an imbalance of =0.5, i.e., 1 , 2 = 3 /4,1 /4 . Phase transitions between the excitonic ...
متن کاملOnset of interlayer phase coherence in a bilayer two-dimensional electron system: Effect of layer density imbalance
Tunneling and Coulomb drag are sensitive probes of spontaneous interlayer phase coherence in bilayer two-dimensional electron systems at total Landau level filling factor nT=1. We find that the phase boundary between the interlayer phase coherent state and the weakly coupled compressible phase moves to larger layer separations as the electron density distribution in the bilayer is imbalanced. T...
متن کاملFractional quantum Hall effect in bilayer two-dimensional hole-gas systems.
We have studied the fractional and integer quantum Hall effect in high mobility double layer 2D hole gas systems. The large hole effective mass inhibits tunneling, allowing us to investigate the regime in which the interlayer and intralayer interactions are comparable without significant interlayer tunneling occurring. As the interlayer separation is reduced we observe the formation of bilayer ...
