Abstract
The distribution of equilibrium edge current density in 2D system subjected to a strong (quantizing) magnetic field has been studied. The case of half plane in normal magnetic field has been considered. The transition from classical strong magnetic field to ultra-quantum limit has been investigated. We have shown that the edge current density oscillates and decays with distance from the edge. The oscillations have been attributed to the Fermi wavelength of electrons. The additional component of the current smoothly depending on the distance but sensitive to the occupation of Landau levels has been found. The temperature suppression of oscillations has been studied.
