Abstract
Coulomb exchange interactions of electrons in the quantum Hall state are determined from two inter-Landau-level spin-flip excitations measured by resonant inelastic light scattering. The two coupled collective excitations are linked to inter-Landau-level spin-flip transitions arising from the and Landau levels. The strong repulsion between the two spin-flip modes in the long-wavelength limit is clearly manifested in spectra displaying Coulomb exchange contributions that are comparable to the exchange energy for the quantum Hall state at . Theoretical calculations within the Hartree-Fock approximation are in a good agreement with measured energies of spin-flip collective excitations.
