Anomalous acousto-current within the quantum Hall plateaus

Abstract

We systematically study the acousto-current of two-dimensional electron systems in the integer and fractional quantum Hall regimes using surface acoustic waves. We are able to separate the co-existing acoustic scattering and drag, when phonons induce drag current and tune the electron conductivity, respectively. At large acoustic power, the drag current is finite when the system is compressible and exhibits minima when incompressible quantum Hall effects appear. Surprisingly, it exhibits anomalously large bipolar spikes within the quantum Hall plateaus while it vanishes linearly with reduced acoustic power at compressible phases. The current peaks reverse their polarity at the two flanks of exact integer or fractional fillings, consistent with the opposite electric charge of the quasiparticle/quasihole.
