Evidence for a Quantum Hall Insulator in an InGaAs/InP Heterostructure
Abstract
We study the quantum critical behavior of the plateau-insulator (PI) transition in a low mobility InGaAs/InP heterostructure. By reversing the direction of the magnetic field (B) we find an averaged Hall resistance xy which remains quantized at the plateau value h/e2 throughout the PI transition. We extract a critical exponent '= 0.57 +/- 0.02 for the PI transition which is slightly different from (and possibly more accurate than) the established value 0.42 +/- 0.04 as previously obtained from the plateau-plateau (PP) transitions.
