Abstract
We calculate the quantum states corresponding to the drifting and channeled classical orbits in a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) with strong magn etic and electric modulations along one spatial direction, x. The channeled states carry high, concentrated currents along the y-axis, and are confine d in an effective potential well. The quantum and the classical states are compared.
