Weak levitation of 2D delocalized states in a magnetic field.

Abstract

The deviation of the energy position of a delocalized state from the center of Landau level is studied in the framework of the Chalker-Coddington model. It is demonstrated that introducing a weak Landau level mixing results in a shift of the delocalized state up in energy. The mechanism of a levitation is a neighboring - Landau level - assisted resonant tunneling which ``shunts'' the saddle-points. The magnitude of levitation is shown to be independent of the Landau level number.
