We show that the edge channels may contain compressible regions, and using simple electrostatics, that the resonance through the outer spin states should occur twice per h/e period. An antidot may be a powerful tool for investigating quantum Hall edge states in general, and the interplay of spin and charging effects that occurs in quantum dots.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-07-25T10:59:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "aharonov-bohm oscillations", "compressible rings", "coulomb blockade", "quantum hall edge states", "lowest landau level form bound" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
