We consider magnetotransport in high-mobility 2D electron gas in a non-quantizing magnetic field. We employ a weakly chiral network model to test numerically the prediction of the scaling theory that the transition from an Anderson to a…

Due to the lack of simulation tools that take into account the actual geometry of complicated quantum Hall samples there are lots of experiments that are not yet fully understood. Already some years ago R. G. Mani recorded a shift of the…
We study hierarchical network models which have recently been introduced to approximate the Chalker-Coddington model for the integer quantum Hall effect (A.G. Galstyan and M.E. Raikh, PRB 56 1422 (1997); Arovas et al., PRB 56, 4751 (1997)).…
We construct a generalization of the quantum Hall effect, where particles move in four dimensional space under a SU(2) gauge field. This system has a macroscopic number of degenerate single particle states. At appropriate integer or…
We calculate the local density of states of a two-dimensional electron system under strong crossed magnetic and electric fields. We assume a strong perpendicular magnetic field which, in the absence of in-plane electric fields and collision…

Scaling theory predicts complete localization in $d=2$ in quantum systems belonging to orthogonal class (i.e. with time-reversal symmetry and spin-rotation symmetry). The conductance $g$ behaves as $g \sim exp(-L/l)$ with system size $L$…
