    Possible Jahn-Teller effect in Si-inverse layers

    Full text link
    Jahn-Teller effect in bivalley Si(100) MOSFET under conditions of quantum Hall effect at integer filling factors nu=1,2,3 is studied. This system is described by SU(4) hidden symmetry. At nu=2 static and dynamic lattice deformation creates an easy-plane anisotropy and antiferromagnetic exchange and lifts the valley degeneracy. At nu=1,3 Coulomb interaction is essential to produce weak easy-plane anisotropy. Three phases: ferromagnetic, canted antiferromagnetic and spin-singlet, have been found. Anisotropy energy of charged skyrmion excitation in every phase is found.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure

    On the origin of transversal current in double-layer heterostructures

    It is shown that usually used theoretical model for double-layer heterostructures as a pseudospin ferromagnet does not explain the observed two-dimensional spectrum. Its existence is possible when neglecting Coulomb interaction destroying two-dimensional structures and can be realized only in a strong magnetic field. That is connected also with the plain vortex lattices forming in strong magnetic fields due to thermodynamic instability. This model gives reasonable explanations of various observed effects depending on the filling of the corresponding bands. In particular in this work we show that in double-layer heterostructures a large interlayer conductance really observed can exist

    Fractional Quantum Hall Effect and vortex lattices

    Full text link
    It is demonstrated that all observed fractions at moderate Landau level fillings for the quantum Hall effect can be obtained without recourse to the phenomenological concept of composite fermions. The possibility to have the special topologically nontrivial many-electron wave functions is considered. Their group classification indicates the special values of of electron density in the ground states separated by a gap from excited states

    Absolute negative conductivity in two-dimensional electron systems under microwave radiation

    Full text link
    We overview mechanisms of absolute negative conductivity in two-dimensional electron systems in a magnetic field irradiated with microwaves and provide plausible explanations of the features observed in recent experiments related to the so-called zero-resistance (zero-conductance) states.Comment: 4 pages, 7 figures, presented at Internat.
