Summary

We mapped the phase diagram for a bilayer electron gas in the quantum Hall regime. Our findings reveal three distinct phases, explaining experimental observations like quantized Hall and Hall drag plateaus.

Area of Science:

  • Condensed Matter Physics
  • Quantum Hall Effect
  • Bilayer Electron Systems

Background:

  • The quantum Hall regime in bilayer electron systems exhibits complex behavior.
  • Understanding the interplay between interlayer correlations and quantum phenomena is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To construct a phase diagram for a double quantum well bilayer electron gas at total filling factor nu=1.
  • To identify and characterize distinct electronic phases within this system.

Main Methods:

  • Exact numerical calculations were employed.
  • Topological Chern number matrix and interlayer superfluid density were computed.

Main Results:

  • Three distinct phases were identified: a pseudospin superfluid state, a pseudospin "gauge-glass" ordered state, and a decoupled composite Fermi liquid.
  • The calculated phase diagram consistently explains experimental observations.
  • Key experimental phenomena explained include quantized Hall plateau, Hall drag plateau, vanishing Hall drag resistance, and zero-bias conductance peak.

Conclusions:

  • The presented phase diagram provides a comprehensive framework for understanding the quantum Hall regime in bilayer electron gases.
  • The findings offer insights into topological order and emergent phenomena in strongly correlated electron systems.
  • Further experimental investigations are suggested based on the theoretical predictions.
