Hyperfine interactions between electron and nuclear spins in the quantum Hall regime provide powerful means for manipulation and detection of nuclear spins. In this work we demonstrate that significant changes in nuclear spin polarization can be created by applying an electric current in a 2-dimensional electron system at Landau level filling factor nu=1/2. Electron spin transitions at nu= 2/3 and 1/2 are utilized for the measurement of the nuclear spin polarization. Consistent results are obtained from these two different methods of nuclear magnetometry. The finite thickness of the electron wavefunction is found to be important even for a narrow quantum well. The current induced effect on nuclear spins can be attributed to electron heating and the efficient coupling between the nuclear and electron spin systems at nu=1/2. The electron temperature, elevated by the current, can be measured with a thermometer based on the measurement of the nuclear spin relaxation rate. The nuclear spin polarization follows a Curie law dependence on the electron temperature. This work also allows us to evaluate the electron g-factor in high magnetic fields as well as the polarization mass of composite fermions.

The pairing of composite fermions (CFs), electron-flux quasi-particles, is commonly proposed to explain the even-denominator fractional quantum Hall state observed at $ u=5/2$ in the first excited ($N=1$) Landau level (LL) of a two-dimensional electr
on system (2DES). While well-established to exist in the lowest ($N=0$) LL, much is unknown about CFs in the $N=1$ LL. Here we carry out geometric resonance measurements to detect CFs at $ u=5/2$ by subjecting the 2DES to a one-dimensional density modulation. Our data, taken at a temperature of 0.3 K, reveal no geometric resonances for CFs in the $N=1$ LL. In stark contrast, we observe clear signatures of such resonances when $ u=5/2$ is placed in the $N=0$ LL of the anti-symmetric subband by varying the 2DES width. This finding implies that the CFs mean-free-path is significantly smaller in the $N=1$ LL compared to the $N=0$ LL. Our additional data as a function of in-plane magnetic field highlight the role of subband index and establish that CFs at $ u=5/2$ in the $N=0$ LL are more anisotropic in the symmetric subband than in the anti-symmetric subband.
Thermal measurements on a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure reveal that the state of the confined two-dimensional electrons dramatically affects the nuclear-spin diffusion near Landau level filling factor u=1. The experiments provide quantitative evidence
that the sharp peak in the temperature dependence of heat capacity near u=1 is due to an enhanced nuclear-spin diffusion from the GaAs quantum wells into the AlGaAs barriers. We discuss the physical origin of this enhancement in terms the possible Skyrme solid-liquid phase transition.
Microwave pinning-mode resonances found around integer quantum Hall effects, are a signature of crystallized quasiparticles or holes. Application of in-plane magnetic field to these crystals, increasing the Zeeman energy, has negligible effect on the
resonances just below Landau level filling $ u=2$, but increases the pinning frequencies near $ u=1$, particularly for smaller quasiparticle/hole densities. The charge dynamics near $ u=1$, characteristic of a crystal order, are affected by spin, in a manner consistent with a Skyrme crystal.
Optical absorption measurements are used to probe the spin polarization in the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect regimes. The system is fully spin polarized only at filling factor $ u=1$ and at very low temperatures($sim40$ mK). A small chan
ge in filling factor ($delta uapproxpm0.01$) leads to a significant depolarization. This suggests that the itinerant quantum Hall ferromagnet at $ u=1$ is surprisingly fragile against increasing temperature, or against small changes in filling factor.
We study the photoassisted shot noise generated by a periodic voltage in the fractional quantum Hall regime. Fluctuations of the current are due to the presence of a quantum point contact operating in the weak backscattering regime. We show how to re
construct the photoassisted absorption and emission probabilities by varying independently the dc and ac contributions to the voltage drive. This is made possible by the peculiar power-law behavior of the tunneling rates in the chiral Luttinger liquid theory, which allow to approximate the typical infinite sums of the photoassisted transport formalism in a simple and particularly convenient way.
