An experimental analysis for two parallel conducting layers determines the full resistivity tensor of the parallel layer, at magnetic fields where the other layer is in the quantum Hall regime. In heterostructures which exhibit parallel conduction in the modulation-doped layer, this analysis quantitatively determines the charge density in the doping layer and can be used to estimate the mobility. To illustrate one application, experimental data show magnetic freeze-out of parallel conduction in a modulation doped heterojunction. As another example, the carrier density of a minimally populated second subband in a two-subband quantum well is determined. A simple formula is derived that can estimate the carrier density in a highly resistive parallel layer from a single Hall measurement of the total system.

Motivated by recent high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) experiments in the quantum Hall regime both on massive two-dimensional electron gas and on graphene, we consider theoretically the disorder averaged nonlocal correlations of the local density of states (LDoS) for electrons moving in a smooth disordered potential in the presence of a high magnetic field. The intersection of two quantum cyclotron rings around the two different positions of the STM tip, correlated by the local disorder, provides peaks in the spatial dispersion of the LDoS-LDoS correlations when the intertip distance matches the sum of the two quantum Larmor radii. The energy dependence displays also complex behavior: for the local LDoS-LDoS average (i.e., at coinciding tip positions), sharp positive correlations are obtained for tip voltages near Landau level, and weak anticorrelations otherwise.
We present a comparative study of high carrier density transport in mono-, bi-, and trilayer graphene using electric-double-layer transistors to continuously tune the carrier density up to values exceeding 10^{14} cm^{-2}. Whereas in monolayer the co nductivity saturates, in bi- and trilayer flling of the higher energy bands is observed to cause a non-monotonic behavior of the conductivity, and a large increase in the quantum capacitance. These systematic trends not only show how the intrinsic high-density transport properties of graphene can be accessed by field-effect, but also demonstrate the robustness of ion-gated graphene, which is crucial for possible future applications.
A microscopic theory is used to study the optical properties of semiconductor quantum dots. The dephasing of a coherent excitation and line-shifts of the interband transitions due to carrier-carrier Coulomb interaction and carrier-phonon interaction are determined from a quantum kinetic treatment of correlation processes. We investigate the density dependence of both mechanisms and clarify the importance of various dephasing channels involving the localized and delocalized states of the system.

Transport studies of a bent quantum Hall junction at integer filling factors show strongly insulating states at higher fields. In this paper we analyze the strongly insulating behavior as a function of temperature T and dc bias V, in order to classif y the localization mechanisms responsible for the insulating state. The temperature dependence suggests a crossover from activated nearest-neighbor hopping at higher T to variable-range hopping conduction at lower T. The base temperature electric field dependence is consistent with 1D variable-range hopping conduction. We observe almost identical behavior at filling factors 1 and 2, and discuss how the bent quantum Hall junction conductance appears to be independent of the bulk spin state. Various models of 1D variable-range hopping which either include or ignore interactions are compared, all of which are consistent with the basic model of disorder coupled counter-propagating quantum Hall edges.

We study the influences of antidot-induced bound states on transport properties of two- dimensional quantum spin Hall insulators. The bound statesare found able to induce quantum percolation in the originally insulating bulk. At some critical antidot densities, the quantum spin Hall phase can be completely destroyed due to the maximum quantum percolation. For systems with periodic boundaries, the maximum quantum percolationbetween the bound states creates intermediate extended states in the bulk which is originally gapped and insulating. The antidot in- duced bound states plays the same role as the magnetic field inthe quantum Hall effect, both makes electrons go into cyclotron motions. We also draw an analogy between the quantum percolation phenomena in this system and that in the network models of quantum Hall effect.
