Spontaneous Interlayer Charge Transfer near the Magnetic Quantum Limit
Experiments reveal that a confined electron system with two equally-populated
layers at zero magnetic field can spontaneously break this symmetry through an
interlayer charge transfer near the magnetic quantum limit. New fractional
quantum Hall states at unusual total filling factors such as \nu = 11/15 (= 1/3
+ 2/5) stabilize as signatures that the system deforms itself, at substantial
electrostatic energy cost, in order to gain crucial correlation energy by
"locking in" separate incompressible liquid phases at unequal fillings in the
two layers (e.g., layered 1/3 and 2/5 states in the case of \nu = 11/15).Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures (1 color) included in text. Related papers at

Magnetic-Field-Induced Hybridization of Electron Subbands in a Coupled Double Quantum Well
We employ a magnetocapacitance technique to study the spectrum of the soft
two-subband (or double-layer) electron system in a parabolic quantum well with
a narrow tunnel barrier in the centre. In this system unbalanced by gate
depletion, at temperatures T\agt 30 mK we observe two sets of quantum
oscillations: one originates from the upper electron subband in the
closer-to-the-gate part of the well and the other indicates the existence of
common gaps in the spectrum at integer fillings. For the lowest filling factors
and , both the common gap presence down to the point of one- to
two-subband transition and their non-trivial magnetic field dependences point
to magnetic-field-induced hybridization of electron subbands.Comment: Major changes, added one more figure, the latest version to be
