In the third and higher Landau levels, at filling fractions nu=9/2, 11/2, etc., the in-plane field can lead to a striking interchange of the \"hard\" and \"easy\" transport directions. In the second Landau level the normally isotropic resistivity and the weak nu=5/2 quantized Hall state are destroyed by a large in-plane field and the transport becomes highly anisotropic.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "1999-03-12T22:46:03.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "in-plane magnetic field", "two-dimensional electron systems", "anisotropic states", "in-plane field", "second landau level" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
