The diagonal and off-diagonal AC conductivity of two-dimensional electron gases with contactless Corbino geometry in the quantum Hall regime. We have investigated the AC conductivity elements in the quantum Hall regime of two-dimensional electron gases coupled capacitively to electrodes with Corbino geometry. The samples are GaAlAs/ GaAs single heterostructures, and the measurements are made at low frequencies, up to 20 kHz. The diagonal conductivity is derived from magnetocapacitance measurements. It increases with increasing frequency according to a power law at integer filling factors. The exponent of the power law depends on both temperature and filling factor. Ratios between Hall conductivities at different filling factors are obtained by inductive measurements of the circulating current. They are found to agree with quantization in multipla of e 2 /h at the integer filling factors.

Electron localization in the quantum Hall regime.
The theory of the insulating state discriminates between insulators and metals by means of a localization tensor, which is finite in insulators and divergent in metals. In absence of time-reversal symmetry, this same tensor acquires an off-diagonal imaginary part, proportional to the dc transverse conductivity, leading to quantization of the latter in two-dimensional systems. I provide evidence...
متن کاملPeak Values of Conductivity in Integer and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
The diagonal conductivity usr was measured in the Corbino geometry in both integer and fractional quantum Hall effect (QHE). We find that peak values of g=.+ are approximately equal for transitions in a wide range of integer filling factors 3 < v < 16, as expected in scaling theories of QHE. This fact allows us to compare peak values in the integer and fractional regimes within the framework of...

We investigate the relation between the diagonal (σ(xx)) and off-diagonal (σ(xy)) components of the conductivity tensor in the quantum Hall system. We calculate the conductivity components for a short-range impurity potential using the linear response theory, employing an approximation that simply replaces the self-energy by a constant value [Formula: see text] with τ the scattering time. The a...
متن کاملActivated resistivities in the integer quantum Hall effect
We have determined the off-diagonal and diagonal conductivities for a quantum Hall effect system at exactly integer filling at finite temperatures and in the presence of weak short ranged disorder potential within the self consistent Born approximation. We find that there is a finite temperature contribution to off-diagonal conductivity σxy which is ‘anomalous’ in nature as it survives even in ...
متن کاملEffect of screening of the Coulomb interaction on the conductivity in the quantum Hall regime.
We study variable range hopping in the quantum Hall effect regime in the presence of a metallic gate parallel to the plane of a two-dimensional electron gas. Screening of the Coulomb interaction by the gate causes the partial “filling” of the Coulomb gap in the density of localized states. At low enough temperatures this leads to a substantial enhancement and a new temperature behavior of the h...
