Abstract

We find that the transport coefficients ρxy and ρxx of two-dimensional electrons in InGaAs/InP show a characteristic power-law dependence on T. In the range 0.1 K T 4.2 K, the maximum of dρxydB diverges like Tκ with κ=0.42±0.04, for Landau levels N=0, 1, and 1, and the half-width ΔB for ρxx vanishes as ΔBTκ. These results confirm the prediction of the scaling theory that the characteristic power-law behavior in the transport coefficients is a universal feature of delocalization in the integral quantum Hall effect.
