For the dramatic fluctuations at the insulator-to-first-plateau transition we find a conductance distribution that is approximately uniform between zero and $e^2/h$. We point out that this is consistent with the prediction of random $S$-matrix theory for a conductor with single-channel leads in a magnetic field.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "1996-10-24T07:00:09.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum hall transition", "conductance distribution function", "measurement", "two-terminal submicron silicon mosfets", "quantum hall plateaus" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "RevTeX", "pages": 10, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
