Spectator Behavior in a Quantum Hall Antidot with Multiple Bound Modes

Abstract

We theoretically study Aharonov-Bohm resonances in an antidot system with multiple bound modes in the integer quantum Hall regime, taking capacitive interactions between the modes into account. We find the spectator behavior that the resonances of some modes disappear and instead are replaced by those of other modes, due to internal charge relaxation between the modes. This behavior is a possible origin of the features of previous experimental data which remain unexplained, spectator behavior in an antidot molecule and resonances in a single antidot with three modes.
