Ettingshausen Effect around Landau Level Filling Factor nu=3 Studied by Dynamic Nuclear Polarization

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-11-13 v5

Abstract

Spin current perpendicular to the electric current is investigated around Landau level filling factor ν=3\nu=3 in a GaAs/AlGaAs two-dimensional electron system. Measurements of dynamic nuclear polarization in the vicinity of the edge of a specially designed Hall bar sample indicate that the direction of the spin current with respect to the Hall electric field reverses its polarity at ν=3\nu=3, where the dissipative current carried by holes in the spin up Landau level is replaced with that by electrons in the spin down Landau level.
