We report quantum Hall experiments on the plateau-insulator transition in a low mobility In.53Ga.47As/InP heterostructure. The data for the longitudinal resistance ρxx follow an exponential law and we extract a critical exponent κ = .55 ± .05 which is slightly different from the established value κ = .42±.04 for the plateau transitions. Upon correction for inhomogeneity effects, which cause the critical conductance σ * xx to depend marginally on temperature, our data indicate that the plateau-plateau and plateau-insulator transitions are in the same universality class.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
