Manifestation of the Exchange Enhancement of the Valley Splitting in the Quantum Hall Effect Regime
arXiv:cond-mat/0602376 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.73.205324
Abstract
We report a new "dip" effect in the Hall resistance, R_{xy}, of a Si metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor in the quantum Hall effect regime. With increasing magnetic field, the Hall resistance moves from the plateau at Landau filling factor ν=6 directly to the plateau at ν=4, skipping the plateau at ν=5. However, when the filling factor approaches ν=5, the Hall resistance sharply "dives" to the value 1/5(h/e^2) characteristic of the ν=5 plateau, and then returns to 1/4(h/e^2). This is interpreted as a manifestation of the oscillating exchange enhancement of the valley splitting when the Fermi level is in the middle between two adjacent valley-split Landau bands with the asymmetric position of the extended states.
