We experimentally study electron transport between edge states in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime. We find an anomalous increase of the transport across the 2/3 incompressible fractional stripe in comparison with theoretical…
Topology provides an essential concept for achieving unchanged (or protected) quantum properties in the presence of perturbations. A challenge facing realistic applications is that the level of protection displayed in real systems is…
Topological insulators are bulk electronic insulators which possess symmetry protected gapless modes on their surfaces. Breaking the symmetries that underlie the gapless nature of the surface modes is predicted to give rise to exotic new…
Two dimensional electron systems exhibiting the fractional quantum Hall effects are characterized by a quantized Hall conductance and a dissipationless bulk. The transport in these systems occurs only at the edges where gapless excitations…
The beauty of quantum Hall (QH) effect is the metrological precision of Hall resistance quantization that originates from the topological edge states. Understanding the factors that lead to quantization breakdown not only provides important…
Doping a topological insulator (TI) film with transition metal ions can break its time-reversal symmetry and lead to the realization of the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect. Prior studies have shown that the longitudinal resistance of…
Quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) insulators transport charge without resistance along topologically protected chiral one-dimensional edge states. Yet, in magnetic topological insulators (MTI) to date, topological protection is far from robust,…
We report the observation of counterflowing edge current in InAs quantum wells which leads to the breakdown of quantum Hall (QH) effects at high magnetic fields. Counterflowing edge channels arise from the Fermi-level pinning of InAs and…
The quantum Hall effect is the seminal example of topological protection, as charge carriers are transmitted through one-dimensional edge channels where backscattering is prohibited. Graphene has made its marks as an exceptional platform to…
While the disorder-induced quantum Hall (QH) effect has been studied previously, the effect ofdisorder potential on microscopic features of the integer QH effect remains unclear, particularly forthe incompressible (IC) strip. In this…
Transport experiments provide conflicting evidence on the possible existence of fractional order within integer quantum Hall systems. In fact integer edge states sometimes behave as monolithic objects with no inner structure, while other…
Electrical and thermal conductances of a quantum Hall bar reflect the topological structure of the incompressible bulk phase. Here we show that noise of electrical current carried through the edge evidences the interplay between these two…
We experimentally investigate transport across the incompressible stripe at the sample edge in the fractional quantum Hall effect regime at bulk filling factors $\nu=2/3$ and $\nu=2/5$. We obtain the dependence of the equilibration length,…
We report real-time detection of longitudinal and transverse transport responses across distinct frequency bands in a ferromagnetic filling factor $\nu$ = 1 integer quantum Hall state. By tuning $\nu$, we simultaneously access the evolution…
Transport through edge-channels is responsible for conduction in quantum Hall (QH) phases. Topology dictates quantization of both charge and thermal transport coefficients. These turn out to approach robust quantized values when incoherent…
Since the experimental realisation of the integer quantised Hall effect in a two dimensional electron system subject to strong perpendicular magnetic fields in 1980, a central question has been the interrelation between the conductance…
We investigate non-linear magneto-transport in a Hall bar device made from a strained InGaAs/InP quantum well: a material system with attractive spintronic properties. From extensive maps of the longitudinal differential resistance (r_xx)…
This paper comprises a review of our recent works on fractional chiral modes that emerge due to edge reconstruction in integer and fractional quantum Hall (QH) phases. The new part added is an analysis of edge reconstruction of the $\nu =…
The creation of topologically non-trivial matter across electronic, mechanical, cold-atom, and photonic platforms is advancing rapidly, yet understanding the breakdown of topological protection remains a major challenge. In this work, we…
Topology is key in describing unconventional quantum phases of matter and devising robust quantum technology. Exactly how topology mixes with quantum mechanics remains largely unclear, as testified by the lack of a unifying microscopic…
