Quantum Phase Transitions in Bilayer Quantum Hall Systems at a Total Filling Factor υ_T = 1

摘要

We construct a quantum Ginsburg-Landau theory to study the quantum phase transition from the excitonic superfluid to a possible pseudospin density wave (PSDW) at some intermediate distances driven by the magnetoroton minimum collapsing at a finite wave vector. We explicitly show that the PSDW takes a square lattice structure. We suggest the existence of zero-point quantum fluctuation generated vacancies in the PSDW and that correlated hopping of vacancies in the active and passive layers in the PSDW state leads to very large and temperature dependent drag consistent with the experimental data. Comparisons with previous numerical calculations are made. Further experimental implications are given.
