The current polarization rectification of the integer quantized Hall effect
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on our theoretical investigation considering the widths of quantized Hall plateaus (QHPs) depending on the density asymmetry induced by the large current within the out-of-linear response regime. We solve the Schrödinger equation within the Hartree type mean field approximation using Thomas Fermi Poisson nonlinear screening theory. We observe that the two dimensional electron system splits into compressible and incompressible regions for certain magnetic field intervals, where the Hall resistance is quantized and the longitudinal resistance vanishes, if an external current is imposed. We found that the strong current imposed, induces an asymmetry on the IS width depending linearly on the current intensity.

A heuristic quantum theory of the integer quantum Hall effect
Contrary to common belief, the current emitted by a contact embedded in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) is quantized in the presence of electric and magnetic fields. This observation suggests a simple, clearly defined model for the quantum current through a Hall device that does not invoke disorder or interactions as the cause of the integer quantum Hall effect (QHE), but is based on a pr...

This paper has examined the analytical solution of steady fully developed natural convective flow of a viscous incompressible and electrically conducting fluid between vertical channel by taking the Hall current and induced magnetic field into account. We have obtained the non-dimensional simultaneous ordinary differential equations using the suitable non-dimensional variables and parameters in...
متن کاملAnomalous resistance overshoot in the integer quantum Hall effect
In this work we report on experiments performed on smooth edge-narrow Hall bars. The magneto-transport properties of intermediate mobility two-dimensional electron systems are investigated and analyzed within the screening theory of the integer quantized Hall effect. We observe a non-monotonic increase of Hall resistance at the low magnetic field ends of the quantized plateaus, known as the ove...
متن کاملGraphene, universality of the quantum Hall effect and redefinition of the SI system
The Système Internationale d’unités (SI) is about to undergo its biggest change in half a century by redefining the units for mass and current in terms of the fundamental constants h and e, respectively. This change crucially relies on the exactness of the relationships that link these constants to measurable quantities. Here we report the first direct comparison of the integer quantum Hall eff...
متن کاملEvidence for Skyrmions and Single Spin Flips in the Integer Quantized Hall Effect.
We have employed tilted-field magneto-transport measurements of the energy gap for the odd-integer quantized Hall states at Landau level filling factors ν = 1,3 and 5 to determine the spin of thermally excited quasielectron-quasihole pairs. At ν = 1 our data show that as many as 7 electron spin flips accompany such excitations, while at ν = 3 and 5 apparently only a single spin flips. These res...
