摘要
We review recent heat capacity and magnetotransport experiments on GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures containing multilayer two-dimensional electron systems (2DESs) in the quantum Hall regime. Emphasis in this article is on the study of the heat capacity near Landau level filling factor nu = 1. We also present a detailed survey of the development of the quantum Hall effect in tilted-magnetic fields for nu less than or similar to 2. Among the novel phenomena we address is the strong coupling between the nuclear spins and the electrons associated with the spin phase transitions of the 2DES at nu = 4/3 and near nu = 1.
