Integer quantum Hall effect in a square lattice revisited
Abstract
We investigate the phenomenon of integer quantum Hall effect in a square lattice, subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field, through Landauer-B\"uttiker formalism within the tight-binding framework. The oscillating nature of longitudinal resistance and near complete suppression of momentum relaxation processes are examined by studying the flow of charge current using Landauer-Keldysh prescription. Our analysis for the lattice model corroborates the finding obtained in the continuum model and provides a simple physical understanding.
