Properties of the Soliton-Lattice State in Double-Layer Quantum Hall Systems

Abstract

Application of a sufficiently strong parallel magnetic field $B_{\parallel }>B_c$ produces a soliton-lattice (SL) ground state in a double-layer quantum Hall system. We calculate the ground-state properties of the SL state as a function of $B_{\parallel }$ for total filling factor ${\nu }_T=1$, and obtain the total energy, anisotropic SL stiffness, Kosterlitz-Thouless melting temperature, and SL magnetization. The SL magnetization might be experimentally measurable, and the magnetic susceptibility diverges as $|B_{\parallel }-B_c{|}^{-1}$.
