Abstract

A generalization of the known theory describing the Hall channels with integer filling factors in inhomogeneous 2D electronic samples to the case of a stationary nonequilibrium state (with a nonzero Hall voltage VH across the 2D system) is proposed. For the central strip located near the extremum of the electron density, the theory predicts a change in its width and a shift of the whole strip from the equilibrium position as functions of VH. The theoretical results are used to interpret recent experiments on measuring the local electric fields along the Hall samples both in equilibrium conditions and in the presence of transport in the quantum Hall regime.
