Current Distributions in Quantum Hall Effect Devices
This paper addresses the question of how current is distributed within quantum Hall effect devices. Three types of flow patterns most often mentioned in the literature are considered. They are: (1) skipping orbits along the device periphery (which arise from elastic collisions off hard-walled potentials); (2) narrow conducting channels along the device sides (which are presumed to be generated ...
متن کاملPotential and Current Distributions Calculated Across a Quantum Hall Effect Sample at Low and High Currents
The potential and current distributions are calculated across the width of a quantum Hall effect sample for applied currents between 0 μA and 225 μA. For the first time, both a confining potential and a current-induced charge-redistribution potential are used. The confining potential has a parabolic shape, and the charge-redistribution potential is logarithmic. The solution for the sum of the t...
متن کاملCurrent distribution in Hall bars and breakdown of the quantum Hall effect
A numerical study is made of current distribution in small Hall bars with disorder. It is observed , in particular, that in the Hall-plateau regime the Hall current tends to concentrate near the sample edges while it diminishes on average in the sample interior as a consequence of localization. Also reported is another numerical experiment on a related, but rather independent topic, the breakdo...
متن کاملThe quantum Hall effect
most physical phenomena that occur in nature. Its basic equation, the Schrödinger equation, accurately describes the electronic properties of solids—of great importance in modern technology.To describe the behavior of particles that travel near the speed of light, such as neutrinos, the theory must be modified to take Einstein’s theory of relativity into account. This was accomplished by physic...
متن کاملCurrent correlations in quantum spin Hall insulators.
We consider a four-terminal setup of a two-dimensional topological insulator (quantum spin Hall insulator) with local tunneling between the upper and lower edges. The edge modes are modeled as helical Luttinger liquids and the electron-electron interactions are taken into account exactly. Using perturbation theory in the tunneling, we derive the cumulant generating function for the interedge cu...
