Tunneling between edge states in a quantum spin Hall system.
We analyze a quantum spin Hall device with a point contact connecting two of its edges. The contact supports a net spin tunneling current that can be probed experimentally via a two-terminal resistance measurement. We find that the low-bias tunneling current and the differential conductance exhibit scaling with voltage and temperature that depend nonlinearly on the strength of the electron-elec...
متن کاملSpin-filtered edge states and quantum Hall effect in graphene.
Electron edge states in graphene in the quantum Hall effect regime can carry both charge and spin. We show that spin splitting of the zeroth Landau level gives rise to counterpropagating modes with opposite spin polarization. These chiral spin modes lead to a rich variety of spin current states, depending on the spin-flip rate. A method to control the latter locally is proposed. We estimate Zee...
متن کاملControlled coupling of spin-resolved quantum Hall edge states.
We introduce and experimentally demonstrate a new method that allows us to controllably couple copropagating spin-resolved edge states of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the integer quantum Hall regime. The scheme exploits a spatially periodic in-plane magnetic field that is created by an array of Cobalt nanomagnets placed at the boundary of the 2DEG. A maximum charge or spin transfer ...
متن کاملBinding Transition in Quantum Hall Edge States
We study a class of Abelian quantum Hall (QH) states which are topologically unstable (T-unstable). We find that the T-unstable QH states can have a phase transition on the edge which causes a binding between electrons and reduces the number of gapless edge branches. After the binding transition, the single-electron tunneling into the edge gains a finite energy gap, and only certain multi-elect...
متن کاملDynamical properties of quantum Hall edge states.
We consider the dynamical properties of simple edge states in integer (ν = 1) and fractional (ν = 1/2m + 1) quantum Hall (QH) liquids. The influence of a time-dependent local perturbation on the ground state is investigated. It is shown that the orthogonality catastrophe occurs for the initial and final state overlap | < i|f > | ∼ L − 1 2ν (δ π) 2 with the phase shift δ. The transition probabil...
