Binding Transition in Quantum Hall Edge States
We study a class of Abelian quantum Hall (QH) states which are topologically unstable (T-unstable). We find that the T-unstable QH states can have a phase transition on the edge which causes a binding between electrons and reduces the number of gapless edge branches. After the binding transition, the single-electron tunneling into the edge gains a finite energy gap, and only certain multi-elect...
متن کاملDynamical properties of quantum Hall edge states.
We consider the dynamical properties of simple edge states in integer (ν = 1) and fractional (ν = 1/2m + 1) quantum Hall (QH) liquids. The influence of a time-dependent local perturbation on the ground state is investigated. It is shown that the orthogonality catastrophe occurs for the initial and final state overlap | < i|f > | ∼ L − 1 2ν (δ π) 2 with the phase shift δ. The transition probabil...
متن کاملEdge reconstruction in fractional quantum Hall states
The nature of edge reconstruction in the quantumHall e ect (QHE) and the issue of where the current flows have been debated for years.Moreover, the recent observation of proliferation of ‘upstream’ neutral modes in the fractional QHE has raised doubts about the present models of edge channels. Here, we present a new picture of the edge reconstruction in two of the holeconjugate states. For exam...
متن کاملLiquid crystalline states in quantum Hall systems
We investigate liquid crystalline phases with nematic order at 3 -filling of the valence Landau level (LL). We generalize Laughlin’s fractional quantum Hall (QH) effect wavefunction at ν = 3 to include anisotropic nodal distribution by modifying the Jastrow factors. Lengthy Monte Carlo simulations are then used to determine with unprecedented accuracy the (anisotropic) pair distribution functio...
متن کاملOn edge states in semi-infinite quantum Hall systems
We consider an electron in two dimensions submitted to a magnetic field and to the potential of impurities. We show that when the electron is confined to a half-space by a planar wall described by a smooth increasing potential, the total Hamiltonian necessarily has a continuous spectrum in some intervals in between the Landau levels provided that both the amplitude and spatial variation of the ...
