Theoretical investigation of thermostability of incompressible channels in quantum Hall states

Abstract

In this work we use self-consistent method considering a two dimensional electron gas system in the integer quantum Hall regime, to calculate the temperature induced decay of incompressible stripes. There are two types of incompressible strips which can form in a Hall bar system by varying the electron density or magnetic field. We observe that the way of collapse of incompressible strips strongly depends on the type of them. With increasing temperature a bulk incompressible strip will decay from the middle and separate into two edge channels by a density ramp, while an incompressible edge channel reduces its size from both sides until vanishes.
