THE QUANTUM HALL-EFFECT - A SUM-RULE

The influence of disorder on the Hall conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas in a strong magnetic field is examined by studying the scattering of a single particle from an arbitrary potential in crossed electric and magnetic fields. The Hall current in a large system is shown to be unaffecte...

Description
Summary:The influence of disorder on the Hall conductivity of a two-dimensional electron gas in a strong magnetic field is examined by studying the scattering of a single particle from an arbitrary potential in crossed electric and magnetic fields. The Hall current in a large system is shown to be unaffected by "islands" of disorder. © 1984.
