چکیده

We report studies of pinning mode resonances in the low total Landau filling (nu) Wigner solid of a series of bilayer hole samples with negligible interlayer tunneling and with varying interlayer separation d. Comparison of states with equal layer densities (p,p) to single layer states (p,0) produced in situ by biasing, indicates that there is interlayer quantum correlation in the solid at small d. Also, the resonance frequency at small d is decreased just near nu = 1/2 and 2/3, indicating the importance in the solid of correlations related to those in the fractional quantum Hall effects.

Pinned bilayer Wigner crystals with pseudospin magnetism

We study a model of pinned bilayer Wigner crystals WC and focus on the effects of interlayer coherence IC on pinning. We consider both a pseudospin ferromagnetic WC FMWC with IC and a pseudospin antiferromagnetic WC AFMWC without IC. Our central finding is that a FMWC can be pinned more strongly due to the presence of IC. One specific mechanism is through the disorder induced interlayer tunneli...

Tunneling between bilayer quantum Hall structures in a strong magnetic field

We calculate the tunneling current in a quantum Hall bilayer system in the strong magnetic field limit. We model the bilayer electron system as two Wigner crystals coupled through interlayer Coulomb interactions, treated in the continuum limit. We generalized the Johansson and Kinaret (JK) model and were able to study the effect of the low energy out-of-phase magnetophonon modes produced as a r...

Piezoelectric mechanism for the orientational pinning of bilayer Wigner crystals and stripes in a GaAs matrix

We investigate the phonon mechanism for the orientational pinning of Wigner crystals and stripes in two-dimensional electron layers in GaAs matrices. We find the orientation of bilayer Wigner crystals on the (001), (111), (01̄1) and (311) interfaces versus the interlayer distance and determine the regions of parameters, where polydomain structures can emerge. For the stripe states in electron la...

Microwave Resonance Study of Melting in High Magnetic Field Wigner Solid

Wigner solids in two-dimensional electron systems in high magnetic field B exhibit a striking, microwave or rf resonance, that is understood as a pinning mode. The temperature, Tm, above which the resonance is absent, is interpreted as the melting temperature of the solid. Studies of Tm for many B and many sample densities n show that Tm is a function of the Landau level filling v alone for a g...

Dynamics of disordered quantum Hall crystals

Charge density waves are thought to be common in two-dimensional electron systems in quantizing magnetic ,elds. Such phases are formed by the quasiparticles of the topmost occupied Landau level when it is partially ,lled. One class of charge density wave phases can be described as electron solids. In weak magnetic ,elds (at high Landau levels) solids with many particles per unit cell—bubble pha...
