We report interlayer tunneling measurements between very dilute two-dimensional GaAs hole layers. Surprisingly, the shape and temperature dependence of the tunneling spectrum can be explained with a Fermi liquid-based tunneling model, but the peak amplitude is much larger than expected from the available hole band parameters. Data as a function of parallel magnetic field reveal additional anomalous features, including a recurrence of a zero-bias tunneling peak at very large fields. In a perpendicular magnetic field, we observe a robust and narrow tunneling peak at total filling factor nu(T)=1, signaling the formation of a bilayer quantum Hall ferromagnet.

Bloch ferromagnetism of composite fermions

Md Shafayat Hossain, Tongzhou Zhao, Songyang Pu, M. A. Mueed, M. K. Ma, K. A. Villegas Rosales, Y. J. Chung, L. N. Pfeiffer, K. W. West, K. W. Baldwin, J. K. Jain, M. Shayegan

Summary: Composite fermions in a clean two-dimensional electron gas can be tuned to very low densities to form a Bloch ferromagnet, with an abrupt transition to full magnetization similar to Bloch ferromagnetism observed experimentally. By measuring the Fermi wavevector, a sudden transition from partially spin-polarized to fully spin-polarized ground state was observed as the density of composite fermions decreases. Theoretical calculations considering Landau level mixing provide a semi-quantitative explanation of this phenomenon.

Spontaneous Valley Polarization of Itinerant Electrons

Md S. Hossain, M. K. Ma, K. A. Villegas-Rosales, Y. J. Chung, L. N. Pfeiffer, K. W. West, K. W. Baldwin, M. Shayegan

Summary: This study demonstrates the ability to control valley polarization in a two-dimensional electron system through gate bias, explaining that the phenomenon arises from electron-electron interaction. Furthermore, the researchers found that the valley polarization transition is accompanied by a sudden change in sample resistance, which is of interest for potential valleytronic transistor device applications.

Robust Quantum Hall Ferromagnetism near a Gate-Tuned ν=1 Landau Level Crossing

Meng K. Ma, Chengyu Wang, Y. J. Chung, L. N. Pfeiffer, K. W. West, K. W. Baldwin, R. Winkler, M. Shayegan

Summary: By tuning the position of the crossing between the two lowest-energy Landau levels in a low-density two-dimensional hole system, a ferromagnetic quantum Hall ground state with skyrmion excitations is observed. The energy gap for the quantum Hall state remains exceptionally large and only shows a small dip near the crossing, indicating a robust quantum Hall ferromagnet as the ground state.

Delocalization and Universality of the Fractional Quantum Hall Plateau-to-Plateau Transitions

P. T. Madathil, K. A. Villegas Rosales, C. T. Tai, Y. J. Chung, L. N. Pfeiffer, K. W. West, K. W. Baldwin, M. Shayegan

Summary: Disorder-induced localization in condensed matter physics and the temperature dependence of plateau-to-plateau transitions in quantum Hall systems have been extensively studied. In this study, scaling measurements were performed in the fractional quantum Hall state regime, where electron-electron interaction dominates. The results suggest that the critical exponent for transitions between different fractional quantum Hall states varies and is close to the one reported for transitions between high-order fractional quantum Hall states with intermediate strength. The nonuniversal nature of the observed critical exponent is discussed.

Gate-defined two-dimensional hole and electron systems in an undoped InSb quantum well

Zijin Lei, Erik Cheah, Filip Krizek, Thomas Bahler, Peter Marki, Werner Wegscheider, Mansour Shayegan, Thomas Ihn, Klaus Ensslin

Summary: Quantum transport measurements were conducted in undoped InSb quantum wells with high-quality, gate-defined two-dimensional hole and electron systems. The carrier systems in both polarities exhibited tunable spin-orbit interactions, as determined through weak antilocalization measurements. The effective mass of InSb holes increased significantly with carrier density, as evidenced by the temperature dependence of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. Coincidence measurements in a tilted magnetic field were used to estimate the spin susceptibility of the InSb two-dimensional hole system, which showed a rapid decrease in the g factor with increasing carrier density.

Understanding limits to mobility in ultrahigh-mobility GaAs two-dimensional electron systems: 100 million cm2/Vs and beyond

Yoon Jang Chung, A. Gupta, K. W. Baldwin, K. W. West, M. Shayegan, L. N. Pfeiffer

Summary: Ultrahigh-mobility GaAs two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) have been a significant platform for condensed-matter physics research for several decades. Continuous improvement in sample quality has enabled scattering-free transport and led to the emergence of exotic many-body phenomena. Recent research shows the potential for further increasing the mobility limit of GaAs 2DESs, and discusses scenarios for achieving mobility values exceeding 100 x 10(6) cm(2)/Vs.

Composite fermion mass: Experimental measurements in ultrahigh quality two-dimensional electron systems

K. A. Villegas Rosales, P. T. Madathil, Y. J. Chung, L. N. Pfeiffer, K. W. West, K. W. Baldwin, M. Shayegan

Summary: Composite fermions (CFs), formed by pairing an electron and an even number of magnetic flux quanta, are exotic quasiparticles that emerge in an interacting electron system at high magnetic fields. They can explain phenomena such as fractional quantum Hall state and other many-body phases. This study presents experimental measurements of the effective mass of CFs in GaAs quantum wells of varying thickness, revealing a relationship between mass and energy gap. Comparisons with theoretical calculations show significant discrepancies, indicating the need for more accurate calculations to explain the experimental data.

Melting phase diagram of bubble phases in high Landau levels

K. A. Villegas Rosales, S. K. Singh, H. Deng, Y. J. Chung, L. N. Pfeiffer, K. W. West, K. W. Baldwin, M. Shayegan

Summary: A low-disorder, two-dimensional electron system subjected to a large perpendicular magnetic field and cooled to very low temperatures provides a rich platform for studies of many-body quantum phases. The study investigates the screening properties of bubble phases and the penetration of electric fields at different temperatures in this system. The bubbles formed at very low temperatures poorly screen the electric field due to being pinned by the residual disorder potential, allowing a large electric field to reach the top gate.
