Resonance tunnelling and breakdown of the Quantum Hall Effect (QHE) in strong electric fields
Abstract
Resonance scattering of electrons on impurities is shown to play a crucial role in nonlinear conductivity under QHE conditions at zero temperature. The dissipative current as a function of an electric field and Landau level filling factor is calculated.
