Localization and conductance fluctuations in the integer quantum Hall effect: Real--space renormalization group approach
arXiv:cond-mat/9701010 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.56.1422
Abstract
We consider the network model of the integer quantum Hall effect transition. By generalizing the real--space renormalization group procedure for the classical percolation to the case of quantum percolation, we derive a closed renormalization group (RG) equation for the universal distribution of conductance of the quantum Hall sample at the transition. We find an approximate solution of the RG equation and use it to calculate the critical exponent of the localization length and the central moments of the conductance distribution. The results obtained are compared with the results of recent numerical simulations.
