We find $\\rho_D$ to be very large, as compared to the zero magnetic field case. We attribute this enhancement to the slow decay of density fluctuations in a strong magnetic field. For a clean system, the linear $q$-dependence of the longitudinal conductivity, characteristic of the $\\nu=1/2$ state, leads a unique temperature dependence---$\\rd \\propto T^{4/3}$. Within a semiclassical approximation, disorder leads to a decrease of the transresistivity as compared with the clean case, and a temperature dependence of $T^2\\log T$ at low temperatures.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1997-09-18T12:14:10.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "coulomb drag", "quantum hall", "strong magnetic field", "zero magnetic field case", "two-dimensional electron gases subject" ], "tags": [ "conference paper", "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 8, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
