Hall Coefficient of a Dilute 2D Electron System in Parallel Magnetic Field

Strongly Correlated Electrons 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

Measurements in magnetic fields applied at a small angle with respect to the 2D plane of the electrons of a low-density silicon MOSFET indicate that the Hall coefficient is independent of parallel field from H=0 to H>HsatH>H_{sat}, the field above which the longitudinal resistance saturates and the electrons have reached full spin-polarization. This implies that the mobilities of the spin-up and spin-down electrons remain comparable at all magnetic fields, and suggests there is strong mixing of spin-up and spin-down electron states.
