Universal relation between longitudinal and transverse conductivities in quantum Hall effect

Condensed Matter 2009-10-22 v1

Abstract

We show that any critical transition region between two adjacent Hall plateaus in either integer or fractional quantum Hall effect is characterized by a universal semi-circle relationship between the longitudinal and transverse conductivities, provided the sample is homogeneous and isotropic on a large scale. This conclusion is demonstrated both for the phase-coherent quantum transport as well as for the incoherent transport.
