The Hall conductance $\\sigma_\\mathrm{xy}$ and the longitudinal conductance $\\sigma_\\mathrm{xx}$ are computed. We demonstrate that bond disorder can produce a plateau-like feature centered at $\\nu=0$, while the longitudinal conductance is nonzero in the same region, reflecting a band of extended states between $\\pm E_{c}$, whose magnitude depends on the disorder strength. The critical exponent corresponding to the localization length at the edges of this band is found to be $2.47\\pm 0.04$. When both bond disorder and a finite mass term exist the localization length exponent varies continuously between $\\sim 1.0$ and $\\sim 7/3$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2008-04-11T23:20:32.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "73.43.Nq", "71.30.+h", "72.15.Rn" ], "keywords": [ "lowest landau level", "longitudinal conductance", "dissipation", "bond disorder", "criticality" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2008, "month": "Jul", "volume": 101, "number": 3, "pages": "036805" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008PhRvL.101c6805J" } } }
