Title
Novel interlayer quantum Hall states and magneto-exciton condensation in double bilayer graphene
Abstract

Bilayer graphene hosts exotic even-denominator fractional quantum Hall states due to the special form of Coulomb interaction in its N=1 Landau level. On the other hand, when we bring two two-dimensional electron systems close to each other, the introduction of interlayer Coulomb interaction gives rise to a set of new interlayer correlated states. Previous experiments on the double-layer structure of bilayer graphene revealed exciton condensation phases, or equivalently interlayer quantum Hall states with integer total filling factors, when both bilayer graphene layers are in the N=0 Landau level. Now with improved quality in devices of such a system, we observe fractional interlayer quantum Hall states when both layers are in the N=0 Landau level. More interestingly, we also observe integer interlayer states when both layers are in the N=1 Landau level, which show different behaviors compared to their N=0 counterparts.
