Abstract
In the previous chapter, we exploited the hyperfine coupling of electrons and nuclei to investigate different electronic spin excitations. In this chapter, we rely on a different aspect of the hyperfine interaction, namely the ability to probe the electron spin polarization by a nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of the host crystal. Using this technique, we have measured the spin polarization of the FQHS at filling factor

It was assumed that the CF mass scales with the magnetic field according to \(m_{CF}^* \propto \sqrt{B}m_e\) [10].
