New type of electron nuclear-spin interaction from resistively detected NMR in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime

Two-dimensional electron gases in narrow GaAs quantum wells show huge longi tudinal resistance (HLR) values at certain fractional filling factors. Appl ying an rf field with frequencies corresponding to the nuclear spin splitti ngs of Ga-69, Ga-71, and As-75 leads to a substantial decrease of the HLR e stablishing a novel type of resistively detected NMR. These resonances are split into four sublines each. Neither the number of sublines nor the size of the splitting can be explained by established interaction mechanisms.
