HIGH FIELD NMR IN STRONGLY CORRELATED LOW-DIMENSIONAL FERMIONIC SYSTEMS

Abstract

We review some recent NMR results obtained in Grenoble High Magnetic Field Laboratory on magnetic field induced phenomena in strongly correlated low-dimensional fermionic systems: i) magnetic field dependence of the soliton lattice in the IC phase of the spin-Peierls system CuGeO3, ii) NMR study of the complete H-T phase diagram of the organo-metallic spin ladder Cu2(C5H12N2)2Cl4, and iii) the first "standard" NMR measurements (i.e., without optical pumping) on 2D electrons in Quantum wells, providing a detailed description of the fractional quantum Hall effect state at ν = 1/2 with the first determination of the corresponding effective polarization mass of composite fermions. Latest study of the ν = 2/3 state revealed, among other features, an unexpected phase transition.
