Electronic Transport Properties of the Ising Quantum Hall Ferromagnet in   a Si Quantum Well
  Magnetotransport properties are investigated for a high mobility Si two dimensional electron systems in the vicinity of a Landau level crossing point. At low temperatures, the resistance peak having a strong anisotropy shows large hysteresis which is attributed to Ising quantum Hall ferromagnetism. The peak is split into two peaks in the paramagnetic regime. A mean field calculation for the peak positions indicates that electron scattering is strong when the pseudospin is partially polarized. We also study the current-voltage characteristics which exhibit a wide voltage plateau.
