Abstract

We report the observation of a reentrant quantum Hall effect in the lowest Landau level between filling factors of 2/3 and 3/5 in a Al{x}Ga{1-x}As/Al{0.32}Ga{0.68}As heterostructure sample with x=0.85%. A reentrant insulating phase is also observed between filling factors of 2/5 and 1/3, demonstrating particle-hole symmetry between these phases. A sample with x=0.21% shows much weaker reentrant features, indicating that increased short-range scattering, due to the Al alloy in the conduction channel, aids in the formation of these phases.
