The local nature of incompressibility of quantum Hall effect
Edge current quantization in the integer quantum Hall effect is understood to arise due to noninteracting electrons circulating an incompressible insulating bulk. Here, the authors evidence compressible metal-like bulk behaviour in GaAs/AlGaAs Hall bars consistent with electronic interactions.
