Two-dimensional electron gas in the integer quantum Hall regime is investigated numerically by studying the dynamics of an electron hopping on a square lattice subject to a perpendicular magnetic field and random on-site energy with white…
We study the behavior of the extended states of a two-dimensional electron system in silicon in a magnetic field, B. Our results show that the extended states, corresponding to the centers of different Landau levels, merge with the lowest…
The fate of integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) at weak magnetic field is studied numerically in the presence of {\it correlated} disorders. We find a systematic {\it float-up} and {\it merging} picture for extended levels on the low-energy…
We study disorder induced transition between quantum Hall states and insulator state in a {\it lattice} model. We find the positions of the extended states do not change as disorder strength is varied. As a consequence, there are direct…
We have observed in a low density two-dimensional hole system (2DHS) of extremely high quality (with hole density p=1.6x10^{10} cm^{-2} and mobility \mu=0.8x10^6 cm^2/Vs) that, as the 2DHS is continuously tilted with respect to the…
We report experimental studies of disorder-induced transitions between quantum-Hall, metallic, and insulating states in a very dilute two-dimensional electron system in silicon at a magnetic field corresponding to Landau level filling…
In the absence of disorder, the degeneracy of a Landau level (LL) is $N=BA/\phi_0$, where $B$ is the magnetic field, $A$ is the area of the sample and $\phi_0=h/e$ is the magnetic flux quantum. With disorder, localized states appear at the…
We study the quantum Hall states in the lowest Landau level for a single wide quantum well. Due to a separation of charges to opposite sides of the well, a single wide well can be modelled as an effective two level system. We provide…
A key feature of the topological surface state under a magnetic field is the presence of the zeroth Landau level at the zero energy. Nonetheless, it has been challenging to probe the zeroth Landau level due to large electron-hole puddles…
For more than a decade it was widely accepted that two-dimensional electrons are insulating at zero temperature and at zero magnetic-field. Experimentally it was demonstrated that, when placed in a strong perpendicular magnetic field, the…
After decades of searching for the dissipationless transport in the absence of any external magnetic field, quantum anomalous Hall effect (QAHE) was recently achieved in magnetic topological insulator (TI) films. However, the universal…
Recent experiments in the integer quantum Hall regime seem to find direct transitions from a quantum Hall state with Hall conductance $\sigma_{xy} = n e^2/h $ with integer $n > 1$, to an insulating state in weak magnetic fields. We study…
We study the Anderson localization in a weakly coupled multilayer system with a strong magnetic field perpendicular to the layers. The phase diagram of 1/3 flux quanta per plaquette is obtained. The phase diagram shows that a…
We present a brief survey of the charge density wave phases of a two-dimensional electron liquid in moderate to weak magnetic fields where several higher Landau levels are occupied. The review follows the chronological development of this…
We demonstrate experimentally that the transitions between adjacent integer quantum Hall (QH) states are equivalent to a QH-to-insulator transition occurring in the top Landau level, in the presence of an inert background of the other…
We study the phase structure and Hall conductance quantization in weakly coupled multi-layer electron systems in the integer quantum Hall regime. We derive an effective field theory and perform a two-loop renormalization group calculation.…
The integer quantum Hall effect features a paradigmatic quantum phase transition. Despite decades of work, experimental, numerical, and analytical studies have yet to agree on a unified understanding of the critical behavior. Based on a…
The puzzle of recently observed insulating phase of graphene at filling factor $\nu=0$ in high magnetic field quantum Hall (QH) experiments is investigated. We show that the magnetic field driven Peierls-type lattice distortion (due to the…
We investigate the relationship between the quantum Hall extended states and the apparent B=0 `metal'-insulator transition in extremely low density, high quality two-dimensional n-GaAs systems (\mu_{peak} ~ 2 x 10^7 cm^2/Vs). The…
Low-energy magnon bands in a two-dimensional spin ice model become integer quantum magnon Hall bands. By calculating the localization length and the two-terminal conductance of magnon transport, we show that the magnon bands with disorders…
