Chalker-Coddington model described by an S-matrix with odd dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Chalker-Coddington network model is often used to describe the transport properties of quantum Hall systems. By adding an extra channel to this model, we introduce an asymmetric model with profoundly different transport properties. We present a numerical analysis of these transport properties and consider the relevance for realistic systems.

Extended states in systems with odd-rank transfer matrices
The localization properties are investigated within a transfer matrix formulation. We find that there may exist one extended eigenstate when the rank of the transfer matrix is odd. An edge state in a quantum Hall system is such an example. It is a chiral state that can always carry a current. PACS numbers: 03.65.−w, 72.10.Bg, 73.20.Jc A non-interacting Schrödinger equation can be formulated int...
متن کاملAsymptotic Behavior of the Conductance in Disordered Wires with Perfectly Conducting Channels
We study the conductance of disordered wires with unitary symmetry focusing on the case in which m perfectly conducting channels are present due to the channel-number imbalance between two-propagating directions. Using the exact solution of the Dorokhov-Mello-PereyraKumar (DMPK) equation for transmission eigenvalues, we obtain the average and second moment of the conductance in the long-wire re...
متن کاملLocalization in the quantum Hall regime
The localization properties of electron states in the quantum Hall regime are reviewed. The random Landau model, the random matrix model, the tight-binding Peierls model, and the network model of Chalker and Coddington are introduced. Descriptions in terms of equivalent tight-binding Hamiltonians, and the 2D Dirac model, are outlined. Evidences for the universal critical behavior of the localiz...
متن کاملThe Random Network Model for the Quantum Hall Effect and its Ramifications
The percolation model for electrons in spatial dimension two in a strong perpendicular magnetic field in a spatially correlated random potential is introduced. An overview of the random network model introduced by Chalker and Coddington, and its generalizations, is provided. Based on the ingredients of percolation and quantum tunneling the model is explained. Its localization properties and its...
متن کاملDevelopment of Forward-wave Directional Couplers Loaded by Periodic Shunt Shorted Stubs
In this paper a new procedure for designing forward-wave directional couplers using periodic shunt short circuited stubs is proposed. A new type of cell using these stubs, which enlarge the phase difference between even- and odd modes of a uniform microstrip coupled line is introduced. Using the equivalent circuit model for even- and odd-modes of the proposed cell, the elements of the ABCD tra...
