We investigated experimentally non-equilibrium state of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the quantum Hall effect (QHE) regime, studying the hysteresis of magnetoresistance of a 2DEG with a constriction. The large amplitude of the hysteresis enabled us to make the consistent phenomenological description of the hysteresis. We studied the dependence on the magnetic field sweep prehistory (minor loop measurements), recovered the anhysteretic curve, and studied the time dependence of the magnetoresistance. We showed that the hysteresis of magnetoresistance of a 2DEG in the QHE regime has significant phenomenological similarities with the hysteresis of magnetization of ferromagnetic materials, showing multistability, jumps of relaxation, and having the anhysteretic curve. Nevertheless, we revealed the crucial difference, manifested itself in an unusual inverted (anti-coercive) behavior of the magnetoresistance hysteresis. The time relaxation of the hysteresis has fast and slow regimes, similar to that of non-equilibrium magnetization of a 2DEG in QHE regime pointing to their common origin. We studied the dependence of the hysteresis loop area on the lithographic width of the constriction and found the threshold value of width $sim$1.35 $mu$m beyond which the hysteresis is not observed. This points to the edge nature of the non-equilibrium currents (NECs) and allows us to determine the width of the NECs area ($sim$0.5 $mu$m). We suggest the qualitative picture of the observed hysteresis, based on non-equilibrium redistribution of the electrons among the Landau level states and assuming huge imbalance between the population of bulk and edge electronic states.

The quantum Hall regime of graphene has many unusual properties. In particular, the presence of a Zeeman field opens up a region of energy within the zeroth Landau level, where the spin-up and spin-down states localized at a single edge propagate in
opposite directions. We show that when these edge states are coupled to an s-wave superconductor, the transport of charge carriers is spin-filtered. This spin-filtering effect can be traced back to the interplay of specular Andreev reflections and Andreev retro-reflections in the presence of a Zeeman field.
We have studied the breakdown of the integer quantum Hall (QH) effect with fully broken symmetry, in an ultra-high mobility graphene device sandwiched between two single crystal hexagonal boron nitride substrates. The evolution and stabilities of the
QH states are studied quantitatively through the nonlinear transport with dc Hall voltage bias. The mechanism of the QH breakdown in graphene and the movement of the Fermi energy with the electrical Hall field are discussed. This is the first study in which the stabilities of fully symmetry broken QH states are probed all together. Our results raise the possibility that the v=6 states might be a better target for the quantum resistance standard.
Domain walls in fractional quantum Hall ferromagnets are gapless helical one-dimensional channels formed at the boundaries of topologically distinct quantum Hall (QH) liquids. Na{i}vely, these helical domain walls (hDWs) constitute two counter-propag
ating chiral states with opposite spins. Coupled to an s-wave superconductor, helical channels are expected to lead to topological superconductivity with high order non-Abelian excitations. Here we investigate transport properties of hDWs in the $ u=2/3$ fractional QH regime. Experimentally we found that current carried by hDWs is substantially smaller than the prediction of the na{i}ve model. Luttinger liquid theory of the system reveals redistribution of currents between quasiparticle charge, spin and neutral modes, and predicts the reduction of the hDW current. Inclusion of spin-non-conserving tunneling processes reconciles theory with experiment. The theory confirms emergence of spin modes required for the formation of fractional topological superconductivity.
We use a scanning capacitance probe to image transport in the quantum Hall system. Applying a DC bias voltage to the tip induces a ring-shaped incompressible strip (IS) in the 2D electron system (2DES) that moves with the tip. At certain tip position
s, short-range disorder in the 2DES creates a quantum dot island in the IS. These islands enable resonant tunneling across the IS, enhancing its conductance by more than four orders of magnitude. The images provide a quantitative measure of disorder and suggest resonant tunneling as the primary mechanism for transport across ISs.
Optical excitation provides a powerful tool to investigate non-equilibrium physics in quantum Hall systems. Moreover, the length scale associated with photo-excited charge carries lies between that of local probes and global transport measurements. H
ere, we investigate non-equilibrium physics of optically-excited charge carriers in graphene through photocurrent measurements in the integer quantum Hall regime. We observe that the photocurrent oscillates as a function of Fermi level, revealing the Landau-level quantization, and that the photocurrent oscillations are different for Fermi levels near and distant from the Dirac point. Our observation qualitatively agrees with a model that assumes the photocurrent is dominated by chiral edge transport of non-equilibrium carriers. Our experimental results are consistent with electron and hole chiralities being the same when the Fermi level is distant from the Dirac point, and opposite when near the Dirac point.
