Abstract

We investigated effects of the direction of in-plane magnetic field B on the phase transition in the quantum Hall ferromagnet at Landau-level filling factor ν = frac(2, 3) by the nuclear-spin relaxation measurements. We controlled the angle φ between the direction of B and a current I; when B is parallel (perpendicular) to I, φ = 0{ring operator}(φ = 90{ring operator}) . We found that the nuclear spin relaxation rate T1- 1 at φ = 0{ring operator} is about twice as much as that at φ = 90{ring operator}. We discuss the anisotropic behavior of T1- 1 in term of a suppression of low-frequency electron spin fluctuations by B at φ = 90{ring operator}.
