Abstract:
Two-dimensional quantum transport through the stripe of the hexagonal lattice of antidots built in the multimode channel in the GaAs/AlGaAs structure has been studied numerically. It has been found that the low perpendicular magnetic fields ($\sim 3$ mT) suppress the bulk currents and cause the appearance of the edge Landau states and high positive magnetic resistance on both sides of the Dirac point. Tamm edge states are present in some energy intervals; as a result, the $\approx 4e^2/h$-amplitude oscillations caused by the quantization of these states on the lattice length are added to the steps of the conductance quantization $G_n=(2|n|+1)2e^2/h$.
