Fig. 5: Splitting of equilibrium FQHE states under current bias in Hall bars of different width, W.

The diagonal resistance Rxx (color bar on the right) is plotted vs. the LL filling factor ν (abscissa) and IDC (ordinate). Solid colored lines trace the evolution of the Rxx minima with IDC. a Color plot of Rxx for a Hall bar with width W = 400 μm. b Color plot of Rxx for W = 200 μm. c Color plot of Rxx for W = 100 μm. Refer to Fig. 2 for the definition of scale W. Note the similarly sloped lines for all W, although the contrast is reduced in the smaller specimen. Here, T = 25 mK.
