Our measurements reveal a very large longitudinal drag resistivity ($\\rho^{D}_{xx}$) in this regime, exceeding 15 k$\\Omega/\\Box$ at filling factor $\\nu=1.15$. $\\rho^{D}_{xx}$ shows a weak temperature dependence and appears to saturate at a finite, large value at the lowest temperatures. Our observations are consistent with theoretical models positing a phase separation, e.g. puddles of $\\nu=1$ QHS embedded in a different state, when the system makes a transition from the coherent $\\nu=1$ QHS to the weakly coupled $\\nu=2$ QHS.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-08-28T00:46:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.-f", "71.35.-y", "73.22.Gk" ], "keywords": [ "giant frictional drag", "filling factor", "strongly interacting bilayers", "large longitudinal drag resistivity", "interacting gaas bilayer hole systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review B", "year": 2009, "month": "Jan", "volume": 79, "number": 4, "pages": "041303" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009PhRvB..79d1303T" } } }
