With increasing magnetic field applied perpendicularly to the sample we observe the sequence of insulating, $\\nu=1/3$ fractional quantum Hall liquid, and insulating phases. In both of the insulating phases in the vicinity of the $\\nu=1/3$ filling the magnetoresistance has an unexpected oscillatory behavior with the magnetic field. These oscillations are not of the Shubnikov-de Haas type and cannot be explained by spin effects. They are most likely the consequence of the formation of a new electronic phase which is intermediate between the correlated Hall liquid and a disorder pinned solid.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-03-04T23:54:53.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "fractional quantum hall liquid", "phase coexistence", "high quality two-dimensional hole system", "magnetic field" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
