Anisotropy of Magnetoresistance Hysteresis around the $ν=2/3$ Quantum Hall State in Tilted Magnetic Field
Abstract
We present an anisotropy of the hysteretic transport around the spin transition point at Landau level filling factor $ν=2/3$ in tilted magnetic field. When the direction of the in-plane component of the magnetic field $B_{\parallel}$ is normal to the probe current $I$, a strong hysteretic transport due to the current-induced nuclear spin polarization occurs. When $B_{\parallel}$ is parallel to $I$, on the other hand, the hysteresis almost disappears. We also demonstrate that the nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate $T_{1}^{-1}$ at the transition point increases with decreasing angle between the directions of $B_{\parallel}$ and $I$. These results suggest that the morphology of electron spin domains around $ν=2/3$ is affected by the current direction.
