We study the Hall conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas under an inhomogeneous magnetic field $B(x)$. First, we prove using the quantum kinetic theory that an odd magnetic field can lead to a purely nonlinear Hall response. Second,…

Quantum Hall systems are characterized by the quantization of the Hall conductance -- a bulk property rooted in the topological structure of the underlying quantum states. In condensed matter devices, material imperfections hinder a direct…

We demonstrate a new method for locally probing the edge states in the quantum Hall regime utilizing a side coupled quantum dot positioned at an edge of a Hall bar. By measuring the tunneling of electrons from the edge states into the dot,…
