چکیده

The observation of the quantum Hall effect in an electronic system does not depend on the strict two-dimensionality of the system, but rather that the conductivity in the direction of the magnetic field (ozz) vanishes. This condition can be acheived in a superlattice when the Landau level spacing exceeds the zero-field miniband width of the superlattice. It is now possible to test this criterion experimentally on a quasi eriodic system to examine if the con g. resence of localized and sin the quasicrystal affects this rtion. We have experimenta system with a modulationdoped GaAs/AlGaAs Fibonacci superlattice that exhibits a spectra corresponding to a Cantor set in X-ray diffraction. No evidence for the affect of these states on the magnetotransport is seen.

From semiclassical transport to quantum Hall effect under low-field Landau quantization

The crossover from the semiclassical transport to quantum Hall effect is studied by examining a two-dimensional electron system in an AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure. By probing the magneto-oscillations, it is shown that the semiclassical Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) formulation can be valid even when the minima of the longitudinal resistivity approach zero. The extension of the applicable range of the ...

The local nature of incompressibility of quantum Hall effect

Since the experimental realization of the integer quantum Hall effect in a two-dimensional electron system, the interrelation between the conductance quantization and the topological properties of the system has been investigated. Assuming that the two-dimensional electron system is described by a Bloch Hamiltonian, system is insulating in the bulk of sample throughout the quantum Hall plateau ...
