We develop a theory of the half-filled Landau level which shows that it is a two-component fluid. One of the components has spin up and the other spin down so that the electron-spin resonance can occur. The 1/3 filled level is fully spin…
We study the effects of disorder on the quantum Hall stripe phases in half-filled high Landau levels using exact numerical diagonalization. We show that, in the presence of weak disorder, a compressible, striped charge density wave, becomes…
