Cascade of Multielectron Bubble Phases in Monolayer Graphene at High Landau Level Filling

The phase diagram of an interacting two-dimensional electron system in a high magnetic field is enriched by the varying form of the effective Coulomb interaction, which depends strongly on the Landau level index. While the fractional quantum Hall states that dominate in the lower-energy Landau levels have been explored experimentally in a variety of two-dimensional systems, much less work has been done to explore electron solids owing to their subtle transport signatures and extreme sensitivity to disorder. Here, we use chemical potential measurements to map the phase diagram of electron solid states in N=2, N=3, and N=4 Landau levels in monolayer graphene. Direct comparison between our data and theoretical calculations reveals a cascade of density-tuned phase transitions between electron bubble phases up to two, three, or four electrons per bubble in the N=2, 3, and 4 Landau levels, respectively. Finite-temperature measurements are consistent with melting of the solids for T≈1 K.
