Implication

Experimental study demonstrates a transition from edge- to bulk-currents in a two-dimensional conductor, supporting screening theory over traditional single-particle models.

Key Points

  • To experimentally test whether current shifts from the edge to the bulk of a two-dimensional conductor in the quantum Hall regime as predicted by screening theory.
  • Examined electrical transport through a two-dimensional conductor subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field.
  • Tracked the spatial distribution and pathways of electrical currents across varying magnetic field strengths.
  • Demonstrated direct experimental proof that current shifts gradually from the outer sample edges into the bulk as the magnetic field increases.
  • Validated the screening theory model showing that electron–electron interactions split the Hall bar into compressible and incompressible strips.
