| Tilt Induced Localization and Delocalization in the Second Landau Level (2004) | |||||||||
Abstract | |||||||||
| We have investigated the behavior of electronic phases of the second Landau level under tilted magnetic fields. The fractional quantum Hall liquids at $\nu=$2+1/5 and 2+4/5 and the solid phases at $\nu=$2.30, 2.44, 2.57, and 2.70 are quickly destroyed with tilt. This behavior can be interpreted as a tilt driven localization of the 2+1/5 and 2+4/5 fractional quantum Hall liquids and a delocalization through melting of solid phases in the top Landau level, respectively. The evolution towards the classical Hall gas of the solid phases is suggestive of antiferromagnetic ordering. | |||||||||
