| الوصف: | We present observations of an anisotropic resistance state at Landau level filling factor $\nu=5/2$ in a two-dimensional hole system (2DHS), which occurs for certain values of hole density $p$ and average out-of-plane electric field $E_\perp$. The 2DHS is induced by electric field effect in an undoped GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well, where front and back gates allow independent tuning of $p$ and $E_\perp$, and hence the symmetry of the confining potential. For $p\approx2\times10^{11}$~cm$^{-2}$ and $E_\perp \approx -2 \times10^{5}$~V/m, the magnetoresistance along $\langle01\bar1\rangle$ greatly exceeds that along $\langle011\rangle$, suggesting the formation of a quantum Hall nematic or `stripe' phase. Reversing the sign of $E_\perp$ rotates the stripes by $90^{\circ}$. We suggest this behavior may arise from the mixing of the hole Landau levels and a combination of the Rashba and Dresselhaus spin-orbit coupling effects. Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures |
