Coulomb drag in double layer electron systems at even denomenator filling factors
نویسنده
چکیده
An interacting double layer system, with uniform positive background, is studied at finite temperature in the presense of a strong magnetic field corresponding to half filling in each layer. By mapping this system to composite fermions in zero field, we investigate the momentum transfer rate between the layers. As a result of the residual gauge interactions, it turns out that the low temperature dependence of this rate is T 4/3 which is enhanced as compared to the normal T 2 behavior.

Coulomb Drag in the Extreme Quantum Limit
Coulomb drag resulting from interlayer electron-electron scattering in double layer 2D electron systems in a high magnetic field has been measured. Within the lowest Landau level the observed drag resistance exceeds its zero magnetic value by factors of typically 1000. At half-filling of the lowest Landau level in each layer (n 1y2) the data suggest that our bilayer systems are much more stro...

The transresistance (i.e. the voltage induced in one layer by a current in another) between composite fermions in double-layers of half-filled Landau levels is shown to be dominated by scattering due to singular gauge field fluctuations arising from the antisymmetric combination of density fluctuations in two layers. The drag rate is found to be proportional to T 4/3 for T less than an energy s...
متن کاملCoulomb drag as a probe of quantum Hall systems
Experiments on Coulomb drag in double-layer systems in the quantumHall regime have observed a number of surprises which were only partially understood for some time. The most striking observations are that Coulomb drag can become negative in the regime of high Landau levels and that its temperature dependence is non-monotonous. In this contribution, we review a theory of Coulomb drag in high La...

We show that at zero temperature the Coulomb drag between two layers of Landau level filling factor ν = 1/2 is finite in the incompressible paired quantum Hall liquid limit. The temperature dependence of the Coulomb drag exhibits a minimum near the temperature where the transition between the incompressible double layer quantum Hall liquid state and the weakly coupled compressible state takes p...
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.
