ABSTRACT
In the first half of my talk I will discuss edge reconstruction in fractional quantum Hall effect, using the state at filling factor 2/3 as an example. By edge reconstruction we mean the appearance of an additional incompressible strip outside the minimum edge structure when the confining potential is smooth. I will explain how this combined with interaction and disorder provides a unified theory for some recent experimental results, namely a plateau at a transmission of 1/2 through a quantum point contact and a crossover of the effective charge from e/3 at high temperature to 2e/3 at low temperature.
In the second half of my talk I will discuss the edge structure of quantum spin Hall effect when interaction and smoothness of the confining potential are taken into account. Using the Hartree-Fock approximation and exact diagonalization, we find that edge reconstruction is possible for both the Bernevig-Zhang model and the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang model. The main experimental implication of this is that since the time-reversal symmetry is spontaneously broken, the edge modes are no longer protected and can be completely gapped out or localized.
