Scaling Theory of the Integer Quantum Hall Effect
The scaling theory of the transitions between plateaus of the Hall conductivity in the integer Quantum Hall effect is reviewed. In the model of twodimensional noninteracting electrons in strong magnetic fields the transitions are disorder-induced localization-delocalization transitions. While experimental and analytical approaches are surveyed, the main emphasis is on numerical studies, which s...
متن کاملشبیه سازی اثر بی نظمی و میدان مغناطیسی بر ترابرد کوانتومی نانوساختارهای دو بعدی مدل شده با تقریب تنگابست
In recent years, semiconductor nanostructures have become the model systems of choice for investigation of electrical conduction on short length scales. Quantum transport is studied in a two dimensional electron gas because of the combination of a large Fermi wavelength and large mean free path. In the present work, a numerical method is implemented in order to contribute to the understanding ...
متن کاملSum Rule of the Hall Conductance in Random Quantum Phase Transition
The Hall conductance σxy of two-dimensional lattice electrons with random potential is investigated. The change of σxy due to randomness is focused on. It is a quantum phase transition where the sum rule of σxy plays an important role. By the string (anyon) gauge, numerical study becomes possible in sufficiently weak magnetic field regime. It is essential to discuss the floating scenario in the...
متن کاملInteracting lattice electrons with disorder in two dimensions: Numerical evidence for a metal-insulator transition with a universal critical conductivity
The Coulomb interaction between the electrons and the presence of disorder both strongly affect the properties of solids.1–5 Namely, electronic correlations and randomness are separate driving forces behind metal-insulator transitions (MITs) due to the localization and delocalization of particles. While the electronic repulsion may lead to a Mott-Hubbard MIT,6 the scattering of noninteracting p...
متن کاملUniversal Scaling, Beta Function, and Metal-Insulator Transitions
We demonstrate a universal scaling form of longitudinal resistance in the quantum critical region of metal-insulator transitions. This is based on numerical results of three-dimensional Anderson transitions (with and without magnetic field), two-dimensional quantum Hall plateau to insulator transition, as well as experimental data of the recently discovered two-dimensional metal-insulator trans...
