Intrinsic gap and exciton condensation in the nu_T=1 bilayer system
We investigate the quasiparticle excitation of the bilayer quantum Hall (QH)
system at total filling factor in the limit of
negligible interlayer tunneling under tilted magnetic field. We show that the
intrinsic quasiparticle excitation is of purely pseudospin origin and solely
governed by the inter- and intra-layer electron interactions. A model based on
exciton formation successfully explains the quantitative behavior of the
quasiparticle excitation gap, demonstrating the existence of a link between the
excitonic QH state and the composite fermion liquid. Our results provide a new
insight into the nature of the phase transition between the two states.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Anisotropy of Magnetoresistance Hysteresis around the Quantum Hall State in Tilted Magnetic Field
We present an anisotropy of the hysteretic transport around the spin
transition point at Landau level filling factor in tilted magnetic
field. When the direction of the in-plane component of the magnetic field
is normal to the probe current , a strong hysteretic
transport due to the current-induced nuclear spin polarization occurs. When
is parallel to , on the other hand, the hysteresis almost
disappears. We also demonstrate that the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate
at the transition point increases with decreasing angle between
the directions of and . These results suggest that the
morphology of electron spin domains around is affected by the
current direction.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Magnetic control of particle-injection in plasma based accelerators
The use of an external transverse magnetic field to trigger and to control
electron self-injection in laser- and particle-beam driven wakefield
accelerators is examined analytically and through full-scale particle-in-cell
simulations. A magnetic field can relax the injection threshold and can be used
to control main output beam features such as charge, energy, and transverse
dynamics in the ion channel associated with the plasma blowout. It is shown
that this mechanism could be studied using state-of-the-art magnetic fields in
next generation plasma accelerator experiments.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figure
The Study of Goldstone Modes in =2 Bilayer Quantum Hall Systems
At the filling factor =2, the bilayer quantum Hall system has three
phases, the spin-ferromagnet phase, the spin singlet phase and the canted
antiferromagnet (CAF) phase, depending on the relative strength between the
Zeeman energy and interlayer tunneling energy. We present a systematic method
to derive the effective Hamiltonian for the Goldstone modes in these three
phases. We then investigate the dispersion relations and the coherence lengths
of the Goldstone modes. To explore a possible emergence of the interlayer phase
coherence, we analyze the dispersion relations in the zero tunneling energy
limit. We find one gapless mode with the linear dispersion relation in the CAF
phase.Comment: 13 pages, no figures. One reference is added. Typos correcte
Metamorphosis of a Quantum Hall Bilayer State into a Composite Fermion Metal
Composite fermion metal states emerge in quantum Hall bilayers at total
Landau level filling factor =1 when the tunneling gap collapses by
application of in-plane components of the external magnetic field. Evidence of
this transformation is found in the continua of spin excitations observed by
inelastic light scattering below the spin-wave mode at the Zeeman energy. The
low-lying spin modes are interpreted as quasiparticle excitations with
simultaneous changes in spin orientation and composite fermion Landau level
index.Comment: 4 pages 4 figure
Magnetotransport Study of the Canted Antiferromagnetic Phase in Bilayer Quantum Hall State
Magnetotransport properties are investigated in the bilayer quantum Hall
state at the total filling factor . We measured the activation energy
elaborately as a function of the total electron density and the density
difference between the two layers. Our experimental data demonstrate clearly
the emergence of the canted antiferromagnetic (CAF) phase between the
ferromagnetic phase and the spin-singlet phase. The stability of the CAF phase
is discussed by the comparison between experimental results and theoretical
calculations using a Hartree-Fock approximation and an exact diagonalization
study. The data reveal also an intrinsic structure of the CAF phase divided
into two regions according to the dominancy between the intralayer and
interlayer correlations.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
