Vanishing Hall Resistance at High Magnetic Field in a Double-Layer Two-Dimensional Electron System

Abstract

At total Landau level filling factor nutot = 1 a double-layer two-dimensional electron system with small interlayer separation supports a collective state possessing spontaneous interlayer phase coherence. This state exhibits the quantized Hall effect when equal electrical currents flow in parallel through the two layers. In contrast, if the currents in the two layers are equal, but oppositely directed, both the longitudinal and Hall resistances of each layer vanish in the low-temperature limit. This finding supports the prediction that the ground state at nutot = 1 is an excitonic superfluid.
