Inter-channel Coulomb interaction mixes charge excitations in copropagating quantum Hall edge channels, generating coupled excitation eigenmodes propagating at different speeds. This mode transformation causes an electron state to split…
The $\nu = 2/3$ filling is the simplest paradigmatic example of a fractional quantum Hall state, which contains counter-propagating edge modes. These modes can be either in the unequilibrated regime or equilibrated to different extents, on…
