Since the experimental realisation of the integer quantised Hall effect in a two dimensional electron system subject to strong perpendicular magnetic fields in 1980, a central question has been the interrelation between the conductance quantisation and the topological properties of the system. It is conjectured that if the electron system is described by a Bloch hamiltonian, then the system is insulating in the bulk of the sample throughout the quantised Hall plateau due to magnetic field induced energy gap. Meanwhile, the system is conducting at the edges resembling a 2+1 dimensional topological insulator without the time-reversal symmetry. However, the validity of this conjecture remains unclear for finite size, non-periodically bounded real Hall bar devices. Here we show experimentally that the close relationship proposed between the quantised Hall effect and the topological bulk insulator is prone to break for specific magnetic field intervals within the plateau evidenced by our magneto-transport measurements performed on GaAs/AlGaAs high purity Hall bars with two inner contacts embedded to bulk. Our data presents a similar behaviour also for fractional states, in particular for 2/3, 3/5 and 4/3.

We propose a new mechanism for the thermal Hall effect in exchange spin-wave systems, which is induced by the magnon-phonon interaction. Using symmetry arguments, we first show that this effect is quite general, and exists whenever the mirror symmetr y in the direction of the magnetization is broken. We then demonstrate our result in a collinear ferromagnet on a square lattice, with perpendicular easy-axis anisotropy and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction from mirror symmetry breaking. We show that the thermal Hall conductivity is controlled by the resonant contribution from the anti-crossing points between the magnon and phonon branches, and estimate its size to be comparable to that of the magnon mediated thermal Hall effect.
We derive the anomalous Hall contributions arising from dipolar interactions to diffusive spin transport in magnetic insulators. Magnons, the carriers of angular momentum in these systems, are shown to have a non-zero Berry curvature, resulting in a measurable Hall effect. For yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin films we calculate both the anomalous and magnon spin conductivities. We show that for a magnetic field perpendicular to the film the anomalous Hall conductivity is finite. This results in a non-zero Hall signal, which can be measured experimentally using Permalloy strips arranged like a Hall bar on top of the YIG thin film. We show that electrical detection and injection of spin is possible, by solving the resulting diffusion-relaxation equation for a Hall bar. We predict the experimentally measurable Hall coefficient for a range of temperatures and magnetic field strengths. Most strikingly, we show that there is a sign change of the Hall coefficient associated with increasing the thickness of the film.
We investigate the 1/3 fractional quantum Hall state with one and two quasiparticle excitations. It is shown that the quasiparticle excitations are best described as excited composite fermions occupying higher composite-fermion quasi-Landau levels. I n particular, the composite-fermion wave function for a single quasiparticle has 15% lower energy than the trial wave function suggested by Laughlin, and for two quasiparticles, the composite fermion theory also gives new qualitative structures.

Conductivity of Integer Quantum Hall Effect (IQHE) may be expressed as the topological invariant composed of the two - point Green function. Such a topological invariant is known both for the case of homogeneous systems with intrinsic Anomalous Quant um Hall Effect (AQHE) and for the case of IQHE in the inhomogeneous systems. In the latter case we may speak, for example, of the AQHE in the presence of elastic deformations and of the IQHE in presence of magnetic field. The topological invariant for the general case of inhomogeneous systems is expressed through the Wigner transformed Green functions and contains Moyal product. When it is reduced to the expression for the IQHE in the homogeneous systems the Moyal product is reduced to the ordinary one while the Wigner transformed Green function (defined in phase space) is reduced to the Green function in momentum space. Originally the mentioned above topological representation has been derived for the non - interacting systems. We demonstrate that in a wide range of different cases in the presence of interactions the Hall conductivity is given by the same expression, in which the noninteracting two - point Green function is substituted by the complete two - point Green function with the interactions taken into account. Several types of interactions are considered including the contact four - fermion interactions, Yukawa and Coulomb interactions. We present the complete proof of this statement up to the two loops, and argue that the similar result remains to all orders of perturbation theory. It is based on the incorporation of Wigner - Weyl calculus to the perturbation theory. We, therefore, formulate Feynmann rules of diagram technique in terms of the Wigner transformed propagators.
We studied neutral excitations in a two-dimensional electron system with an orbital momentum $Delta M = 1$ and spin projection over magnetic field axis $Delta S_z = 1$ in the vicinity of a filling factor of 3/2. It is shown that the 3/2 state is a si ngular point in the filling factor dependence of the spin ordering of the two-dimensional electron system. In the vicinity of $ u=3/2$, a significant increase in the relaxation time ($tau = 13$ $mutext{s}$) for the excitations to the ground state is exhibited even though the number of vacancies in the lowest energy level is macroscopically large. The decrease of the relaxation rate is related to the spin texture transformation in the ground state induced by spin flips and electron density rearrangement. We claim the 3/2 state is a locally incompressible fractional quantum Hall state.
