Abstract

Skyrmion excitations were measured and compared for the first time in the bilayer quantum Hall (QH) state at the Landau-level filling factor v = 2 and in the monolayer QH state at v = 1. The observed number of flipped spins, Nspin, is 14 in the bilayer sample with a large tunnelling gap, and Nspin = 7 in the bilayer sample with a small tunnelling gap, while it is Nspin = 7 in the monolayer sample. The difference is interpreted to be due to the iriterlayer exchange interaction.
