De-Pinning Transition of Bubble Phases in a High Landau Level

Abstract

While in the lowest Landau level the electron-electron interaction leads to the formation of the Wigner crystal, in higher Landau levels a solid phase with multiple electrons in a lattice site of crystal was predicted, which was called the bubble phase. Reentrant integer quantum Hall states are believed to be the insulating bubble phase pinned by disorder. We carry out nonlinear transport measurements on the reentrant states and study the de-pinning of the bubble phase, which is complementary to previous microwave measurements and provides unique information. In this study, conductivity is directly measured with Corbino geometry. Based on the threshold electric field of de-pinning, a phase diagram of the reentrant state is mapped. We discuss an interaction-driven topological phase transition between the integer quantum Hall state and the reentrant integer quantum Hall state.
