Topological defects and Goldstone excitations in domain walls between ferromagnetic quantum Hall effect liquids
Abstract
It is shown that the low-energy spectrum of a ferromagnetic quantum Hall effect liquid in a system with a multi-domain structure generated by an inhomogeneous bare Zeeman splitting εZ is formed by excitations localized at the walls between domains. For a step-like εZ(r), the domain wall spectrum includes a spin-wave with a linear dispersion and a small gap due to spin-orbit coupling, and a low-energy topological defects. The latter are charged and may dominate in the transport under conditions that the percolation through the network of domain walls is provided.
