We analyze quantum transport of charged fermionic particles in the tight-binding lattice connecting two particle reservoirs (the leads). If the lead chemical potentials are different they create an electric field which tilts the lattice. We…
A two-layer system coupled via tunneling and with different carrier masses in each layer is investigated in the integer quantum Hall regime. Striking deviations of the one-layer Hall conductivity from the usual quantization are found, if…

We have developed a theory of the anomalous Hall effect in two-dimensional electron gas in the case where the time of electron-electron collisions is much smaller than the transport relaxation time. The transition between the diffusion…
We investigate energy transfer between counter-propagating quantum Hall edge channels (ECs) in a two-dimensional electron system at filling factor \nu=1. The ECs are separated by a thin impenetrable potential barrier and Coulomb coupled,…
The quantum Hall effect, observed in a two-dimensional electron gas subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, imposes a 1D-like chiral, downstream, transport of charge carriers along the sample edges. Although this picture remains valid…

Quantum Hall edge states in proximity to a superconductor (SC) usually acquire a non-quantized electron-to-hole conversion probability in transport, due to non-universal SC couplings and disorders. With counter-propagating modes, we show…
