摘要: We investigate the effect of incoherent scattering in a Hanbury Brown and Twiss situation with electrons edge states three-terminal conductor submitted to strong perpendicular magnetic field. The modelization is performed by introducing an additional voltage probe through which current kept equal zero causes fluctuations at this probe. It shown that inelastic can lead framework positive correlations, whereas correlations remain always negative for quasi-elastic scattering.
