Electrostatics of Inhomogeneous Quantum Hall Liquid
نویسنده
چکیده
The distribution of electron density in the quantum Hall liquid is considered in the presence of macroscopic density gradient caused by side electrodes or inhomogeneous doping. In this case different Landau levels are occupied in different regions of a sample. These regions are separated by “incompressible liquid”. It is shown that the applicability of the approach by Chklovskii et al. is substantially restricted if the density gradient is not very large and disorder is important. Due to the fluctuations of the remote donor’s density the liquid in the transition region can not be considered as completely incompressible. In the typical situation, when the gap between Landau levels is not much larger than the energy of disorder, the transition region is a wide band where electron density, averaged over the fluctuations, is independent of magnetic field. The band is a random mixture of regions occupied by electrons of upper level, by holes of lower level and by incompressible liquid. The width of this band is calculated and an analytical expression for the fraction of incompressible liquid in different parts of this band is given.

We show that quasiholes persist near the edge of incompressible Quantum Hall state forming a Wigner structure. The average density of quasiholes is fixed by electrostatics and decreases slowly with increasing distance from the edge. As we see from elementary reasoning, their specific arrangement can not be a regular Wigner lattice and shows a complex hierarchical structure of

In this paper we study the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) on the systems with different types of impurities in delta and gaussian forms. The Landau energy levels in the presence of impurity split in two different levels,the extended and localized levels, emerging then the Hall step. Finally, we add a specified form of a quantum dot potential to a system with impurity, and observed that incr...
