Scaling Properties of Conductance at Integer Quantum Hall Plateau Transitions

Abstract

We investigate the scaling properties of zero temperature conductances at integer quantum Hall plateau transitions in the lowest Landau band of a two-dimensional tight-binding model. Scaling is obeyed for all energy and system sizes with critical exponent nu =7/3 . The arithmetic average of the conductance at the localization-delocalization critical point is found to be <G>_c = 0.506 e^2 / h, in agreement with the universal longitudinal conductance predicted by an analytical theory. The probability distribution of the conductance at the critical point is broad with a dip at small G.
