The charged excitations in the system of the title are vortex-antivortex pairs in the spin-texture described in the theory by Yang et al which, in the commensurate phase, are bound together by a string''. It is shown that their excitation energy drops as the string lengthens as the parallel magnetic field approaches the critical value, then goes up again in the incommensurate phase. This produces a sharp downward cusp at the critical point. An alternative description based on the role of…

In a bilayer electronic system the layer index may be viewed as the z component of an isospin- 1 / 2, a phase that was observed in quantum Hall systems and is predicted to exist at zero magnetic field at low density.
