Motivated by the effect of correlations on classical percolation we study numerically electron localization in the lowest Landau level in the presence of a power-law correlated disorder potential. Careful comparisons between classical and quantum dynamics suggest that the extended Harris criterion is applicable in the quantum case. This leads to a prediction of new localization quantum critical points in integer quantum Hall systems with power-law correlated disorder potentials. We demonstrate the stability of these critical points to addition of competing short-range disorder potentials, and discuss possible experimental realizations.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2003-11-20T16:58:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lowest landau level", "correlated quantum percolation", "power-law correlated disorder potential", "integer quantum hall effect", "integer quantum hall systems" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
