Phase diagram of interacting composite fermions in the bilayer nu=2/3 quantum hall effect

We study the phase diagram of composite fermions (CFs) in the presence of spin and pseudospin degrees of freedom in the bilayer nu=2/3 quantum Hall (QH) state. Activation studies elucidate the existence of three different QH states with two different types of hysteresis in the magnetotransport. While a noninteracting CF model provides a qualitative account of the phase diagram, the observed renormalization of tunneling gap and a non-QH state at high densities are not explained in the noninteracting CF model, and are suggested to be manifestations of interactions between CFs.
