Using variable-range hopping theory we are able to extract directly the localization length $\\xi$ from this experiment. We use our results to study the scaling behavior of $\\xi$ as a function of the filling factor distance $|\\delta \\nu|$ to the critical point of the transition. We find for all samples a power-law behavior $\\xi\\propto|\\delta\\nu|^{-\\gamma}$ with a universal scaling exponent $\\gamma = 2.3$ as proposed theoretically.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-07-19T16:04:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum hall effect", "universal scaling", "hopping conductivity", "two-dimensional electron system deep", "quantum hall plateau transition" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
