Abstract

We report on investigations of the quantum Hall chiral edge states using a near-field scanning optical microscope that enables us to irradiate circularly polarized light from the probe tip with spatial resolution below the diffraction limit. We have found a clear evidence for the formation of spin-split incompressible strips near the edge of a two-dimensional electron system in high magnetic fields.
