Electron m excitation to the upper Landau subband with the opposite spin polarity flips nuclear spins through the hyperfine interaction. - The polarized nuclear spins reduce the spin-splitting energy and accelerate the QHE breakdown. The Knight shift of the d nuclear spins is also measured by tuning electron density during the irradiation of radio-frequency magnetic fields. n o c Key words: hyperfine interaction, quantum Hall effect breakdown, nuclear magnetic resonance, Knight shift [ PACS: 73.43.-f, 76.60.-k 1 v 9 Interplay between nuclear spins and electron spins quency shift is referred to as the Knight shift.
