Evidence for a Goldstone Mode in a Double Layer Quantum Hall System

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2012-12-24 v2 Strongly Correlated Electrons

Abstract

The tunneling conductance between two parallel 2D electron systems has been measured in a regime of strong interlayer Coulomb correlations. At total Landau level filling νT=1\nu_T=1 the tunnel spectrum changes qualitatively when the boundary separating the compressible phase from the ferromagnetic quantized Hall state is crossed. A huge resonant enhancement replaces the strongly suppressed equilibrium tunneling characteristic of weakly coupled layers. The possible relationship of this enhancement to the Goldstone mode of the broken symmetry ground state is discussed.
