Abstract

We experimentally demonstrate the simultaneous reconstruction of the bulk and the edge energy spectra caused by strong spin-orbit interaction, at the two lowest filling factors ν=1\nu=1 and ν=2\nu=2 for InxGa1xAsIn_xGa_{1-x}As two-dimensional electron system with x=0.75x = 0.75. The observed reconstruction is of different character at these filling factors: it is characterized by zeroing of the energy gap at the levels crossing point at ν=2\nu=2, while the reconstruction at ν=1\nu=1 goes through the coexistence of two ν=1\nu=1 quantum Hall phases with different spin projections. An analysis indicates a strong influence of many-body interaction on the reconstruction at ν=1\nu=1.
