79 Nonlinear regime The backscattered current is a function of the local imbalance V(x) that depends on the specific scattering process. SGM Group
80 Two mechanisms for the inter-channel scattering For low bias the only relevant mechanism is the elastic scattering induced by impurities, which determines an ohmic behavior (linear I-V) At high bias (Δμ ħω c ) vertical transition with photon emission are enabled (threshold and saturation) SGM Group
81 Impact of the electron heating Electron heating due to injection of hot carriers: The relaxation of hot carriers induces a dramatic temperature increase. This is why the transition is smoothened and the threshold voltage reduced for high d SGM Group
82 Conclusions We explore the use of Scanning Gate Microscopy to selectively control edge channel trajectories Control of the edge channel trajectory allows us to study their structure We built size-tunable QH circuits to directly image the equilibration between imbalanced co-propagating edges The comparison with the SGM scan at zero magnetic field reveals a correlation between the local potential and steps in the G B (d) curve Shift of the threshold voltage for the onset of photon emission is explained by a simple model for the electron heating SGM Group
