Abstract

We investigate the ground state competition at the transition from the spin unpolarized to spin ordered phase at filling factor ν=2/3\nu=2/3 in single layer heterostructure and at ν=2\nu=2 in double layer quantum well. To trace the quantum Hall phase we use the minimum in the dissipative conductivity σxx\sigma_{xx}. We observe two different transition scenarios in two investigated situations. For one of them we propose a qualitative explanation, based on the domain structure evolution in the vicinity of the transition point. The origin for the second scenario, corresponding to the experimental situation at ν=2\nu=2 in double layer 2DES, still remains unclear.
