25. A similar profile was observed on a gated Hall bar by M. Woodside, C. Valea, K. McCormick, P. McEuen, C. Kadow, K. D. Maranowski, and A. C. Gossard, Physica E 6, 238 (2000). 10.1016/S1386-9477(99)00115-0
26. The current is hence concentrated in a region of carrier density smaller than the bulk density as it was expected from the shift of Hall plateaus to lower magnetic fields.
