| Research Abstract |
1. Breakdown of quantum Hall effect : Properties of breakdown of quantum Hall effect have been measured in magnetic fields up to 23 T at temperatures down to 0.5 K in specially designed Hall bars with the width between 3 and 120 mum, the current electrode width of 0.4 mm and the length of 3 mm made from five GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure wafers with different concentrations and mobillities of electrons. Critical current in the onset of the breakdown was proportional to the sample width and 3/2 power of the magnetic flux density.
2. Ground state in low electron densities in strong magnetic fields : Electron mobility dependence of activation energy in diagonal resistance of GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructures was studies in low Landau level filling factors down to 1/9 and found some roles of electron-electron Coulomb interaction. Results of measurements of Hall resistance and diagonal resistance of Si-MOSFETs in magnetic fields up to 16 T at temperatures down to 50 mK showed that the insulating phase at low Landau level filling factors in Si-MOSFETs is produced by the Anderson localization.
