We consider the system with which bulk and edge m. states coexist. In bulk states, the temperature dependence of the transmission probability is t a qualitatively similar to that of a one-dimensional electron system. We investigate contribu- m tions of edge states on transmission probability in bulk states. Those contributions can be - d neglected within our approximation which takes into account only most divergent terms at n o low temperatures. c [ KEYWORDS: magnetic quantum limit, Friedel oscillation, Hartree-Fock approximation, semi- 2 conductor nanowhisker, edge state v 9 6 2 0 1.
