Temperature dependence of spin polarizations at higher Landau Levels

Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We report our results on temperature dependence of spin polarizations at ν=1\nu=1 in the lowest as well as in the next higher Landau level that compare well with recent experimental results. At ν=3\nu=3, except having a much smaller magnitude the behavior of spin polarization is not much influenced by higher Landau levels. In sharp contrast, for filling factor ν=83\nu=\frac83 we predict that unlike the case of ν=23\nu=\frac23 the system remains fully spin polarized even at vanishingly small Zeeman energies.
