Abstract
We study the plateaux of the integer quantum Hall resistance in a
bilayer electron system in tilted magnetic fields. In a narrow range
of tilt angles and at certain magnetic fields, the plateau level
deviates appreciably from the quantized value with no dissipative
transport emerging. A qualitative account of the effect is given in
terms of decoupling of the edge states corresponding to different
electron layers/Landau levels.
