Spin transition of a two-dimensional hole system in the fractional quantum Hall effect
نویسندگان
چکیده
The effect of the complex valence-band Landau-level ~LL! structure on the fractional quantum Hall ~FQH! effect of a two-dimensional hole system has been studied in a modulation-doped quantum well ~QW! with front and back gates. Owing to the spin-orbit interaction and the band mixing in the valence band, changing the potential asymmetry of the QW with the front and back gates allows us to vary the LL structure for a fixed hole density. We observed a remarkable transition in the n5 4 3 FQH effect with a striking resemblance to the spin transitions observed for tilted-field experiments. Self-consistent effective-mass calculations were carried out to confirm that the transition is driven by the change in the effective Zeeman energy. @S0163-1829~99!51004-7#

Spin - Polarization transition in the two dimensional elec - tron gas
– We present a numerical study of magnetic phases of the 2D electron gas near freezing. The calculations are performed by diffusion Monte Carlo in the fixed node approximation. At variance with the 3D case we find no evidence for the stability of a partially polarized phase. With plane wave nodes in the trial function, the polarization transition takes place at rs = 20, whereas the best availab...
متن کاملFractional quantum Hall effect and Wigner crystal of interacting composite fermions.
In two-dimensional electron systems confined to GaAs quantum wells, as a function of either tilting the sample in a magnetic field or increasing density, we observe multiple spin-polarization transitions of the fractional quantum Hall states at filling factors ν=4/5 and 5/7. The number of observed transitions provides evidence that these are fractional quantum Hall states of interacting two-flu...
متن کاملNonlocal Polarization Feedback in a Fractional Quantum Hall Ferromagnet.
In a quantum Hall ferromagnet, the spin polarization of the two-dimensional electron system can be dynamically transferred to nuclear spins in its vicinity through the hyperfine interaction. The resulting nuclear field typically acts back locally, modifying the local electronic Zeeman energy. Here we report a nonlocal effect arising from the interplay between nuclear polarization and the spatia...
متن کاملQuantum hall ferromagnetism in a two-dimensional electron system
Experiments on a nearly spin degenerate two-dimensional electron system reveals unusual hysteretic and relaxational transport in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime. The transition between the spin-polarized (with fill fraction nu = 1/3) and spin-unpolarized (nu = 2/5) states is accompanied by a complicated series of hysteresis loops reminiscent of a classical ferromagnet. In correlation ...
متن کاملHierarchical wave function, Fock cyclic condition, and spin-statistics relation in the spin-singlet fractional quantum Hall effect.
We construct the hierarchical wave function of the spin-singlet fractional quantum Hall effect, which turns out to satisfy Fock cyclic condition. The spin-statistics relation of the quasi-particles in the spin-singlet fractional quantum Hall effect is also discussed. Then we use particle-hole conjugation to check the wave function.
