Abstract
Magnetotransport measurements were performed in an ultrahigh mobility quantum well of density . The temperature dependence of the magnetoresistance was studied in detail in the vicinity of . In particular, we discovered new minima in at a filling factor and , but only at intermediate temperatures . We interpret these as evidence for a fractional quantum Hall liquid forming in the Landau level and competing with bubble and Wigner crystal phases favored at lower temperatures. Our data suggest that a magnetically driven insulator-insulator quantum phase transition occurs between the bubble and Wigner crystal phases at .
