E. Shimshoni et Sl. Sondhi, QUANTUM HALL-EFFECT IN COULOMB DRAG - INTERLAYER FRICTION IN STRONG MAGNETIC-FIELDS, Physical review. B, Condensed matter, 49(16), 1994, pp. 11484-11487
We study the Coulomb drag between two spatially separated electron sys
tems in the quantum Hall regime. At a fixed temperature, the drag is p
eaked near the transitions between plateaus. The temperature dependenc
e of the drag is a probe of the dynamics of the Hall system in a frequ
ency and wave-vector regime inaccessible to transport measurements in
a single layer. Most strikingly, in the transition regions it directly
measures an exponent eta, discussed by Chalker, that is characteristi
c of the fractal structure of the critical eigenstates.
