Interaction and disorder in bilayer counterflow transport at filling factor one

Abstract

We study high mobility, interacting GaAs bilayer hole systems exhibiting counterflow superfluid transport at total filling factor $\nu =1$. As the density of the two layers is reduced, making the bilayer more interacting, the counterflow Hall resistivity (${\rho }_{xy}$) decreases at a given temperature, while the counterflow longitudinal resistivity (${\rho }_{xx}$), which is much larger than ${\rho }_{xy}$, hardly depends on density. On the other hand, a small imbalance in the layer densities can result in significant changes in ${\rho }_{xx}$ at $\nu =1$, while ${\rho }_{xy}$ remains vanishingly small. Our data suggest that the finite ${\rho }_{xx}$ at $\nu =1$ is a result of mobile vortices in the superfluid created by the ubiquitous disorder in this system.
