Abstract
We report inelastic light scattering measurements of dispersive spin and charge density excitations in dilute 2D electron systems reaching densities less than 1010 cm-2. In the quantum Hall state at nu=2, roton critical points in the spin inter--Landau level mode show a pronounced softening as rs is increased. Instead of a soft mode instability predicted by Hartree--Fock calculations for rs ~ 3.3, we find evidence of multiple rotons in the dispersion of the softening spin excitations. Extrapolation of the data indicates the possibility of an instability for rs >~ 11.
