Motivated by experiments, we study the sign of the Coulomb drag voltage in a double layer system in a strong magnetic field. We show that the commonly used Fermi Golden Rule approach implicitly assumes a linear dependence of intra-layer…
In a one dimensional electron gas at low enough density, the magnetic (spin) exchange energy $J$ between neighboring electrons is exponentially suppressed relative to the characteristic charge energy, the Fermi energy $E_F$. At non-zero…
Electron drag between two two-dimensional electron gases in magnetic fields has been observed with a polarity opposite that for zero field. This negative drag requires that the electrons have a hole-like dispersion. Density dependence…
The diagrammatic linear response formalism for the Coulomb drag in two--layer systems is developed. This technique can be used to treat both elastic disorder and intralayer interaction effects. In the absence of intralayer…
We show that the Coulomb drag effect exhibits saturation at small temperatures, when calculated to the third order in the interlayer interactions. The zero-temperature transresistance is inversely proportional to the third power of the…
