Title: Frequency scaling of microwave conductivity in the integer quantum Hall effect minima

Journal Article · · Physical Review B

We measure the longitudinal conductivity {sigma}{sub xx} at frequencies 1.246 GHz{<=}f{<=}10.05 GHz over a range of temperatures 235 mK{<=}T{<=}4.2 K with particular emphasis on the quantum Hall plateaus. We find that Re({sigma}{sub xx}) scales linearly with frequency for a range of magnetic field around the center of the plateaus, i.e., where {sigma}{sub xx}({omega})>>{sigma}{sub xx}{sup dc}. The width of this scaling region decreases with higher temperature and vanishes by 1.2 K altogether. Comparison between localization length determined from {sigma}{sub xx}({omega}) and dc measurements on the same wafer show good agreement.
