We have discussed the relation between the distribution of incompressible strips and observation of Aharonov-Bohm oscillations. We have obtained the distributions of the incompressible strips for various gate voltages and have shown that a gate potential sweep and a magnetic field sweep would be equivalent. Our calculations also predict that for wider gate separations it is possible observe a silent region while sweeping the magnetic field or the gate voltage. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd.
