The spatial profiles of the electron density near the edge of narrow wires made from GaAs / AlGaAs heterostructure have been investigated using magneto-capacitance measurements in quantum Hall conditions. With decreasing the wire width below one micron, the profile of the electron density becomes steep and the electron density decreases due to the confinement potential at the boundaries of the wire. The extent of the depletion region and the local electron density near the wire edge is strongly influenced by the wire width, especially in sub-micron wires. The evaluation techniques of the local electron density profile near the edge are discussed in detail.

We have investigated transport properties in high magnetic field of a gated two-dimensional electron system (2DES) separated by a thin barrier from a layer of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) in the quantum Hall regime. The quality of 2DES was found to be high enough to observe both integer and fractional quantum Hall effect (QHE), despite the proximity of the QD layer to the 2DES. However, significant suppression of the magnetoresistance (ρ xx ) and Hall resistance (ρ xy ) were observed in higher magnetic field range of filling factor ν < 1 when a positive voltage was applied to the front gate. The gate voltage dependence of ρ xx and ρ xy shows a well-defined hysteresis loop at the narrow gate voltage range between -0.2 and +0.2 V at ν < 1, while no anomaly was observed at ν > 1. We deduce that charging and discharging of QDs occurs when the gate voltage is varied around Vg ~ 0 V, which indicates that the electron charge states of the QDs affect the transport properties of the nearby 2DES only at ν < 1. We infer that the spin-flip process induces a non-equilibrium state in the 2DEG, which causes the suppression of ρ xx and ρ xy .
