Measurements were performed under conditions of the integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE), in which case the two-dimensional electron gas was localized in a random fluctuation potential of impurities. The dependences of the components $\\sigma_1(E)$ and $\\sigma_2(E)$ of high-frequency conductivity $\\sigma=\\sigma_1 - i\\sigma_2$ on the electric field of the surface wave were determined. In the range of the conductivity obeying the Arrhenius law ($\\sigma_1 \\gg \\sigma_2$), the results obtained are interpreted in terms of the Shklovskii theory of nonlinear percolation-based conductivity, which makes it possible to estimate the magnitude of the fluctuation potential of impurities. The dependences $\\sigma_1(E)$ and $\\sigma_2(E)$ in the range of high-frequency hopping electrical conductivity, in which case ($\\sigma_1 \\ll \\sigma_2$) and the theory of nonlinearities has not been yet developed, are reported.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2000-08-24T12:23:43.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integer quantum hall effect", "high-frequency electrical conductivity", "gaas/algaas heterostructures", "acoustic effects", "two-dimensional electron gas" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 7, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
