Scaling Behavior of the Activated Conductivity in a Quantum Hall Liquid

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We propose a scaling model for the universal longitudinal conductivity near the mobility edge for the integer quantum Hall liquid. We fit our model with available experimental data on exponentially activated conductance near the Landau level tails in the integer quantum Hall regime. We obtain quantitative agreement between our scaling model and the experimental data over a wide temperature and magnetic field range.
