Quantum Hall Ferromagnets

- 16 March 1994
Abstract
It is pointed out recently that the $\nu=1/m$ quantum Hall states in bilayer systems behave like easy plane quantum ferromagnets. We study the magnetotransport of these systems using their ``ferromagnetic" properties and a novel spin-charge relation of their excitations. The general transport is a combination of the ususal Hall transport and a time dependent transport with $quantized$ time average. The latter is due to a phase slippage process in $spacetime$ and is characterized by two topological constants. (Figures will be provided upon requests).
