Abstract

We study high mobility, interacting GaAs bilayer hole systems exhibiting counterflow superfluid transport at total filling factor ν=1\nu=1. As the density of the two layers is reduced, making the bilayer more interacting, the counterflow Hall resistivity (ρxy\rho_{xy}) decreases at a given temperature, while the counterflow longitudinal resistivity (ρxx\rho_{xx}), which is much larger than ρxy\rho_{xy}, hardly depends on density. On the other hand, a small imbalance in the layer densities can result in significant changes in ρxx\rho_{xx} at ν=1\nu=1, while ρxy\rho_{xy} remains vanishingly small. Our data suggest that the finite ρxx\rho_{xx} at ν=1\nu=1 is a result of mobile vortices in the superfluid created by the ubiquitous disorder in this system.
