Incompressible strips in dissipative Hall bars as origin of quantized Hall plateaus
Incompressible strips in dissipative Hall bars as origin of quantized Hall plateaus
We study the current and charge distribution in a two dimensional electron system, under the conditions of the integer quantized Hall effect, on the basis of a quasi-local transport model, that includes non-linear screening effects on the conductivity via the self-consistently calculated density profile. The existence of ``incompressible strips'' with …
