Coulomb drag as a signature of the paired quantum Hall state
Abstract
Motivated by the recent Coulomb drag experiment of M. P. Lilly et. al, we study the Coulomb drag in a two-layer system with Landau level filling factor =1/2. We find that the drag conductivity in the incompressible paired quantum Hall state at zero temperature can be finite. The drag conductivity is also greatly enhanced above Tc, at which the transition between the weakly coupled compressible liquids and the paired quantum Hall liquid takes place. We discuss the implications of our results for the recent experiment.
