Universality and Scaling of Electronic Transport in the Integral Quantum Hall Effect

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences ((SSSOL,volume 87))

Abstract

Quantitative experimental results are obtained on the electronic transport in the integral quantum Hall effect in InGaAs/InP heterojunctions. Both the maximum of xy /dB and the inverse of the half width for ρ xx diverge like ~T −kWe obtain k = 0.42 ± 0.04, independent of the Landau level index. These results confirm the prediction of the scaling theory that the characteristic power law behavior in the transport coefficients is a universal feature of delocalization in the integral quantum Hall effect.
