Abstract

In addition to the quantum Hall states, the two-dimensional electron system may also host various electron liquid crystalline phases, such as the electron nematic phase, often referred to as the stripe phase. In contrast to the quantum Hall states which are topological phases, these phases are traditional Landau phases with charge order. The nematic phase breaks rotational symmetry, and is characterized by highly anisotropic longitudinal resistance. The nematic phase is the ground state at half-filling in the third and higher Landau levels, at ν = 9∕2, 11∕2, 13∕2, and so on, presenting an example of a departure from conventional physics of the half-filled Landau level.
