Strongly Correlated Electrons
Scientific paper
We study the effects of a perpendicular magnetic field on the spin and charge distribution across a quantum wire. Using momentum resolved tunneling between two parallel wires we measure the dispersion relation for different perpendicular magnetic fields. We find that as the magnetic field increases, a strip of spin polarized electrons separates in the cross section of the wire. We provide a quantitative description of the emerging structure within a Hartree-Fock approximation, showing that it results from exchange interaction between electrons in the wire. We discuss the relation of these results to the structure of Quantum Hall edge states.
