Abstract
A quantized Hall plateau of , accompanied by a minimum in , was observed at K in magnetotransport of high-mobility, two-dimensional electrons, when the lowest-energy, spin-polarized Landau level is filled. The formation of a Wigner solid or charge-density-wave state with triangular symmetry is suggested as a possible explanation.
