Quantized escape and formation of edge channels at high Landau levels

We present nonlocal resistance measurements in an ultra high mobility two dimensional electron gas. Our experiments show that even at weak magnetic fields classical guiding along edges leads to a strong non local resistance on macroscopic distances. In this high Landau level regime the transport along edges is dissipative and can be controlled by the amplitude of the voltage drop along the edge. We report resonances in the nonlocal transport as a function of this voltage that are interpreted as escape and formation of edge channels.
