摘要: The ground state of the two-dimensional electron gas near nu=1 is investigated by inelastic light scattering measurements carried down to very low temperatures. Away from nu=1, ferromagnetic spin wave collapses and a new low-energy emerges below Zeeman gap. emergent shows soft behavior as its energy increases with temperature reaches for temperatures above 2 K. observed softening indicates an instability towards magnetic order that breaks rotational symmetry. We discuss our findings in possible existence Skyrme crystal.
