Abstract

We measure a resonance in the frequency dependence of the real diagonal conductivity, Re[σxx\sigma_{xx}], near integer filling factor, ν=3\nu=3. This resonance depends strongly on ν\nu, with peak frequency fpk1.7f_{pk} \approx 1.7 GHz at ν=3.04\nu=3.04 or 2.92 close to integer ν\nu, but fpkf_{pk} \approx 600 MHz at ν=3.19\nu=3.19 or 2.82, the extremes of where the resonance is visible. The dependence of fpkf_{pk} upon nn^*, the density of electrons in the partially filled level, is discussed and compared with similar measurments by Chen {\it et al.}\cite{yong} about ν=1\nu=1 and 2. We interpret the resonance as due to a pinned Wigner crystal phase with density nn^* about the ν=3\nu=3 state.
