## Abstract

The current distribution is studied for a finite-width two-dimensional system of Hall electrons, with a clear distinction drawn between the equilibrium edge current and the Hall current. It is pointed out that both the distribution and direction of the equilibrium edge current change dramatically as the number of electron edge states increases, and that this alternating edge current is another manifestation of the de Haas-van Alphen effect. The Hall-current distribution is substantially different from the edge current distribution, and it is shown numerically that the fast-traveling electrons along the sample edge are not the main carriers of the Hall current.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
