Antidots

Antidots List of publications . In a moderate or high magnetic field, electrons are confined to the edges of a sample, in edge states, one for each Landau level. We have developed techniques for fabricating a pair of constrictions on either side of a separately-contacted 0.3 micron diameter disc-...
