Abstract:
Many-body effects on tunneling of electrons in semiconductor nanowhiskers are investigated in a magnetic quantum limit. We consider the system with which bulk and edge states coexist. We show that interaction parameters of edge states are much smaller than those of bulk states and the tunneling conductance of edge states hardly depends on temperature and the singular behavior of tunneling conductance of bulk states can be observed.
