Abstract

In this study we analyze the density distributions of the two dimensional electron system for an experimental geometry which is topologically equivalent of an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer in three dimensions in the quantum Hall regime and obtain the spatial distribution of the edge states. We employ the Thomas-Fermi approximation in our analysis and solve the Poisson equation in three dimensional using a multi grid technique. Also we obtain the distribution of incompressible strips for a wide range of magnetic fields strengths and comment on their relation with experimental results in literature.
