Quantum point contact in a compressible Quantum Hall liquid
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider electron transport through a quantum point contact between compressible Quantum Hall liquids and derive the contact’s impedance function for both diffusive and ballistic regimes of the bulk electron motion. In either regime, the tunneling current deviates from a power-law behavior I ∼ V 1/ν expected on the basis of the single-mode chiral Luttinger liquid phenomenology.

Quantum point contact between compressible Quantum Hall liquids
We elaborate on a theory of electronic transport through a quantum point contact (QPC) in the Quantum Hall (QH) regime, which does not discriminate between compressible and incompressible QH liquids, and accounts for both diffusive and ballistic regimes of the bulk electron motion. In either regime we find departures from the accustomed chiral Luttinger liquid behavior. The results suggest that...

h in quantum Hall regime of the system of interactions and disorders. This shows that a determination of the fine structure constant from integer quantum Hall effect is in fact possible. We present also a unified mean field theory of the fractional Hall effect for the in-compressible quantum liquid states based on flux condensation and point out that the known Hofstadter butterfly spectrum of t...
متن کاملDephasing Due to a Fluctuating Fractional Quantum Hall Edge Current
The dephasing rate of an electron level in a quantum dot, placed next to a fluctuating edge current in the fractional quantum Hall effect, is considered. Using perturbation theory, we first show that this rate has an anomalous dependence on the bias voltage applied to the neighboring quantum point contact, because of the Luttinger liquid physics which describes the fractional Hall fluid. Next, ...
متن کاملCritical behavior of a point contact in a quantum spin Hall insulator
We study a quantum point contact in a quantum spin Hall insulator. It has recently been shown that the Luttinger liquid theory of such a structure maps to the theory of a weak link in a Luttinger liquid with spin with Luttinger liquid parameters g =1 /g =g 1. We show that for weak interactions, 1 /2 g 1, the pinch-off of the point contact as a function of gate voltage is controlled by a novel q...
متن کاملDouble point contact in quantum Hall line junctions.
We show that multiple point contacts on a barrier separating two laterally coupled quantum Hall fluids induce Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations in the tunneling conductance. These quantum coherence effects provide new evidence for the Luttinger liquid behavior of the edge states of quantum Hall fluids. For a two point contact, we identify coherent and incoherent regimes determined by the relative...
