title: Mesoscopic fluctuations of the Coulomb drag at nu = 1/2.
abstract: We consider mesoscopic fluctuations of Coulomb drag transresistivity between two layers at a Landau level filling factor nu = 1/2 each. We find that, at low temperatures, sample to sample fluctuations exceed both the ensemble average and the corresponding fluctuations at B = 0. At the experimentally relevant temperatures, the variance of the transresistivity is proportional to T(-1/2). We find the dependence of this variance on density and magnetic field to reflect the attachment of two flux quanta to each electron.
