Abstract

We have developed a new method to study the non equilibrium between edge channels and the bulk of a two-dimensional electron gas. The variation of the effective resistance with applied DC bias clearly shows that the coupling between the edge channels and the bulk is due to tunneling across the incompressible strips. An additional DC bias changes both the width of the strip and the path for tunneling resulting in a diode-like characteristic.
