Abstract

Recent optically pumped nuclear magnetic resonance (OPNMR) measurements in two different electron-doped multiple quantum well samples near the fractional quantum Hall ground state v = 1/3 are reviewed. Below 0.5 K, the spectra provide evidence that the spin-reversed charged excitations of this ground state are localized over the NMR time scale of ∼ 40 μs. By varying NMR pulse parameters, the electron spin temperature (as measured by the Knight shift) could be driven above the lattice temperature. For T_lattice < 0.5 K, these non-equilibrium measurements imply that the value of the electron spin-lattice relaxation time τ_1s lies between 100 μs and 500 ms at v = 1/3.
