We propose a scenario where CBs and CFs coexist in two interpenetrating fluids in the transition. Trial wavefunctions describing these mixed CB-CF states compare very favorably with exact diagonalization results. A Chern-Simons transport theory is constructed that is compatible with experiment.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-01-13T21:02:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum hall bilayers", "coexistence", "composite-bosons", "composite-fermions", "bilayer quantum hall systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
