Conductance matrix of multi terminal semiconductor devices with edge channels

Abstract

This paper presents a method for determining the conductance matrix of multi terminal semiconductor structures with edge channels. This method appears to be applied within frameworks of the ordinary Landauer - uttiker formalism for the carrier transport analysis in the regime of both the quantum Hall Effect and the quantum spin Hall Effect. The proposed method proves to take into account principally the contribution of the probes resistance in the formation of the matrix conductance elements. Finally, the possibilities of the practical application of this method to develop new versions of analog cryptographic devices are discussed.
