In PbTe wide parabolic quantum wells (WPQW) a plateau-like structure is observed in the Hall resistance, which corresponds to the Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations in the same manner as known from the quantum Hall effect. At the same time a…

We investigate the coupling between quantum Hall (QH) edge channels (ECs) located at opposite sides of a 50-um-wide Hall bar by exciting a charged wavepacket in one EC and detecting time-dependent current in the other EC. In a QH state, the…

The quantum Hall effect (QHE) originates from discrete Landau levels forming in a two-dimensional (2D) electron system in a magnetic field. In three dimensions (3D), the QHE is forbidden because the third dimension spreads Landau levels…
