“…1 While the nature of these two limiting states is reasonably well understood, the nature of the states at intermediate d is less understood and has been an active topic of both theoretical 3,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16 and experimental interest. 17,18,19,20,21,22,23,24,25,26,27 Although there are many interesting questions remaining that involve more complicated experimental situations, within the current work we always consider a zero temperature bilayer system with zero tunnelling between the two layers and no disorder. Furthermore, we only consider the situation of ν = 1 2 + 1 2 where the electron density in each layer is such that n 1 = n 2 = B/(2φ 0 ) with φ 0 = hc/e the flux quantum and B the magnetic field.…”
