摘要
We present measurements of the tunnelling conductance between edge channels in the quantum Hall regime. By using a local potential perturbation induced by the tip of a scanning force microscope we are able to enhance the tunnelling coupling and map its strength along the edge of the two-dimensional electron gas. It is suggested that the presented method is promising for the local investigation of inter-edge-channel scattering and edge-channel equilibration. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
