Motivated by recent experiment [Pallecchi et al. PRB 65, 125303 (2002)] previous approaches are extended to treat confinement effects and the exchanged enhanced g-factor in quantum wires. Two scenarios for the collapse of the $\\nu =1$ state are discussed. In the first one the $\\nu =1$ state becomes unstable at $B_{cr}^{(1)}$, due to the exchange interaction and correlation effects, coming from the edge-states screening. In the second scenario, a transition to the $\\nu =2$ state occurs at $B_{cr}^{(2)}$, with a smaller effective channel width, caused by the redistribution of the charge density. This effect turns the Hartree interaction essential in calculating the total energy and changes $B_{cr}^{(2)}$ drastically. In both scenarios, the exchange enhanced g-factor is suppressed for magnetic fields lower than $B_{cr}$. Phase diagrams for the Hall gap collapse are determined. The critical fields, activation energy, and optical $g$-factor obtained are compared with experiments. Within the accuracy of the available data, the first scenario is most probable to be realized.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2005-05-25T20:15:22.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integer quantum hall regime", "quantum wire", "many-body interactions", "suppression", "integer quantum hall liquid" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
