چکیده

A long narrow gate across a fractional quantum Hall fluid at filling n51/m with odd integer m , creates a one-dimensional ~1D! system that is isomorphic to a disordered 1D electron gas with attractive interactions. By varying the gate potential along such a line junction, it should be possible to tune through the 1D localization transition, predicted for an attractively interacting electron gas. The key signature of this 1D metal-insulator transition is the temperature dependence of the conductivity, which diverges as a power of temperature in the metallic phase, and vanishes rapidly in the insulator. We show that the 1D conductivity can be extracted from a standard Hall transport measurement, in the regime where the Hall conductance is close to its quantized value. A line junction in a n52/3 quantized Hall fluid is predicted to exhibit a similar localization transition. @S0163-1829~97!02544-7#

بررسی اثر صحیح کوانتومی هال در سیستمهای دارای ناخالصی به روش تبدیل پیمانه‌ای در حضور نقطه‌های کوانتومی

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...

Exploring the fractional quantum Hall effect with electron tunneling

In this talk I present a summary of recent work on tunnel junctions of a fractional quantum Hall fluid and an electron reservoir, a Fermi liquid. I consider first the case of a single point contact. This is a an exactly solvable problem from which much can be learned. I also discuss in some detail how these solvable junction problems can be used to understand many aspects of the recent electron...

Josephson Current and Noise at a Superconductor/Quantum-Spin-Hall-Insulator/Superconductor Junction

We study junctions between superconductors mediated by the edge states of a quantum-spin-Hall insulator. We show that such junctions exhibit a fractional Josephson effect, in which the current phase relation has a 4π rather than a 2π periodicity. This effect is a consequence of the conservation of fermion parity—the number of electron mod 2—in a superconducting junction and is closely related t...

پاسخ ترازهای لاندائو به تغییر شار در ناخالصیهای ناهمسانگرد

  We have studied a practical approach for the inclusion of non-isotropic impurities in the systems showing integer quantum Hall effect. We observe that if the impurity distribution in the direction which the electric field applys, then the localized levels goes out from the origin with respect to the isotropic case, and the Hall step will the clearly observed.

Two-dimensional arrays of low capacitance tunnel junctions: general properties, phase transitions and Hall effect

We describe transport properties of two-dimensional arrays of low capacitance tunnel junctions, such as the current voltage characteristic and its dependence on external magnetic field and temperature. We discuss several experiments in which the small capacitance of the junctions plays an important role, and we also describe the methods for fabrication and measurements. In arrays where the junc...
