Activated Transport in the Separate Layers that Form theνT=1Exciton Condensate

Abstract: We observe the total filling factor nuT=1 quantum Hall state in a bilayer two-dimensional electron system with virtually no tunneling. We find thermally activated transport in the balanced system with a monotonic increase of the activation energy with decreasing d/lB below 1.65. In the imbalanced system we find activated transport in each of the layers separately, yet the activation energies show a striking asymmetry around the balance point, implying a different excitation spectrum for the separate layers for… Show more

“…In the well-known language in which layer index is taken as pseudospin, the state is an easy-plane ferromagnet, and has carrier wave functions coherently distributed between the two layers. Imbalance 18,19 , or unequal density for the two layers has been shown 18 to strengthen the excitonic condensate state for moderate imbalance.…”

“…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.…”

“…The effect has obtained rather convincing experimental confirmation. Observation of vanishing Hall resistance and a sharp increase of longitudinal conductivity at low temperature under a flow of equal by magnitude and oppositely directed currents in the layers [8][9][10] can be considered as a direct evidence of the pairing. Another confirmation is an observable peak in differential interlayer conductivity at zero potential difference [11,12].…”
