Numerical Studies of Quantum Hall Ferromagnetism in Two-Subband Systems

We carry out a numerical study of the quantum Hall ferromagnetism in a two-subband system using a set of experimental parameters in a recently experiment [X. C. Zhang, I. Martin, and H. W. Jiang, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{74}, 073301 (2006)]. Employing the self-consistence local density approximation for growth direction wave function and the Hartree-Fock theory for the pseudospin anisotropy energy, we are able to account for the easy-axis and easy-plane quantum Hall ferromagnetism observed at total filling factor $ν= 3$ and $ν= 4$, respectively. Our study provides some insight of how the anisotropy energy, which highly depends upon the distribution of growth direction wave functions, determines the symmetry of the quantum Hall ferromagnets.

Scaling Behavior and Variable Hopping Conductivity in the Quantum Hall Plateau Transition

We have measured the temperature dependence of the longitudinal resistivity $% ρ_{xx}$ of a two-dimensional electron system in the regime of the quantum Hall plateau transition. We extracted the quantitative form of scaling function for $ρ_{xx}$ and compared it with the results of ordinary scaling theory and variable range hopping based theory. We find that the two alternative theoretically proposed scaling functions are valid in different regions.
