摘要: In this paper we have studied the transition from adiabatic to nonadiabatic behavior of edge states in quantum Hall regime. The loss adiabaticity due strong changes geometry boundary potential is analyzed different situations commonly present experimental devices. When Fermi energy close that a bulk Landau level (LL), state corresponding such LL remains uncoupled rest, even with hard-rualled potential.
