The system is fully spin polarized only at filling factor $\\nu=1$ and at very low temperatures($\\sim40$ mK). A small change in filling factor ($\\delta\\nu\\approx\\pm0.01$) leads to a significant depolarization. This suggests that the itinerant quantum Hall ferromagnet at $\\nu=1$ is surprisingly fragile against increasing temperature, or against small changes in filling factor.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2009-03-25T15:59:16.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.Lp", "78.67.-n" ], "keywords": [ "filling factor", "optical absorption", "fractional quantum hall effect regimes", "small change", "itinerant quantum hall ferromagnet" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2009, "month": "Mar", "volume": 102, "number": 12, "pages": 126806 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvL.102l6806P" } } }
