Probing the breakdown of topological protection: Filling-factor-dependent evolution of robust quantum Hall incompressible phases

The integer quantum Hall (QH) effects characterized by topologically quantized and nondissipative transport are caused by an electrically insulating incompressible phase that prevents backscattering between chiral metallic channels. We probed the incompressible area susceptible to the breakdown of t...
