The oscillating nature of longitudinal resistance and near complete suppression of momentum relaxation processes are examined by studying the flow of charge current using Landauer-Keldysh prescription. Our analysis for the lattice model corroborates the finding obtained in the continuum model and provides a simple physical understanding.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2012-03-05T09:52:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "integer quantum hall effect", "square lattice", "perpendicular magnetic field", "momentum relaxation processes", "lattice model corroborates" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Physics Letters A", "year": 2012, "month": "Mar", "volume": 376, "number": 16, "pages": 1366 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 5, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012PhLA..376.1366M" } } }
