We consider a class of interaction terms that describes correlated tunneling of composite fermions between effective Landau levels. Despite being generic and of similar strength to that of the usual density-density couplings, these terms…
Chiral edge states are a hallmark of quantum Hall physics. In electronic systems, they appear as a macroscopic consequence of the cyclotron orbits induced by a magnetic field, which are naturally truncated at the physical boundary of the…
We use a novel sample geometry to study non-local effects of edge excitations in the integer quantum Hall effect regime. We find that the condition of local equilibrium at the quantum Hall edge is affected by the diffusion of dynamically…
A quantum Hall (QH) interface is different from an ordinary QH edge, as the latter has its location determined by the confining potential, while the former can be unpinned and behave like a free string. In this paper, we demonstrate this…
Coulomb effects on the edge states of a two dimensional electron gas in the presence of a high magnetic field are studied for different widths of the boundaries. Schr\"odinger and Poisson equations are selfconsistently solved in the integer…

We argue that dynamics of gapless Fractional Quantum Hall Edge states is essentially non-linear and that it features fractionally quantized solitons propagating along the edge. Observation of solitons would be a direct evidence of…
