Spontaneous symmetry breaking and exotic quantum orders in integer quantum Hall systems under a tilted magnetic field

Spontaneous symmetry breaking and exotic quantum orders in integer quantum Hall systems under a tilted magnetic field

We use the microscopic Hartree-Fock approximation to investigate various quantum phase transitions associated with possible spontaneous symmetry breaking induced by a tilted magnetic field in the integral quantum Hall regime of wide parabolic wells and zero width double well (bilayer) systems. We propose a general class of variational wavefunctions that …
