Phase Transitions in the Bilayer $ν=2/3$ Quantum Hall Effect

We measured the magnetoresistance of bilayer quantum Hall (QH) effects at the fractional filling factor $ν=2/3$ by changing the total electron density and the density difference between two layers. Three different QH states were separated by two types of phase transition: One is the spin transition and the other is the pseudospin transition. In addition, two different hystereses were detected, one of which is specific to bilayer systems. The phase transitions and the hystereses are described well by a composite fermion model extended to a bilayer system.

Doubly Enhanced Skyrmions in $ν=2$ Bilayer Quantum Hall States

By tilting the samples in the magnetic field, we measured and compared the Skyrmion excitations in the bilayer quantum Hall (QH) state at the Landau-level filling factor $ν=2$ and in the monolayer QH state at $ν=1$. The observed number of flipped spins is $N_s=14$ in the bilayer system with a large tunneling gap, and $N_s=7$ in the bilayer system with a small tunneling gap, while it is $N_s=7$ in the monolayer system. The difference is interpreted due to the interlayer exchange interaction. Moreover, we have observed seemingly preferred numbers $N_s=14,7,1$ for the flipped spins by tilting bilayer samples.
