The one-parameter scaling of the superfluid-to-insulator transition is employed for the analysis of the scaling behavior of the integer quantum Hall transitions. The analysis reveals the direct transition from a quantum Hall plateau to the insulator in weak disorder limit, and a float-down transition for strong disorders. In either cases, the transition corresponds to a non-chirality superfluid-to-insulator transition, with the longitudinal and transverse quantum Hall conductivities following a semi-circle relation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-08-06T14:14:41.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integer quantum hall transitions", "transverse quantum hall conductivities", "non-chirality superfluid-to-insulator transition", "quantum hall plateau", "weak disorder limit" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002cond.mat..8114W" } } }
