Abstract
We have investigated temperature dependence of the longitudinal conductivity at integer filling factors for Si/SiGe heterostructure in the quantum Hall effect regime. It is shown that for odd , when the Fermi level is situated between the valley-split levels, is determined by quantum corrections to conductivity caused by the electron-electron interaction: . For even , when is located between cyclotron-split levels or spin-split levels, for and for . For further decrease of , all dependences tend to almost temperature-independent residual conductivity . A possible mechanism for is discussed.
