Abstract

We argue that, due to the specific form of the interaction potential between electronic guiding centers, a bubble crystal (BC) with basis may be energetically more favorable than the usual bubble solid. This new BC has well-defined normal eigenmodes, and remains energetically favorable when the effects of finite sample thickness and of screening by electrons in lower LLs are taken into account.
