Physics:Semicircle law (Quantum Hall)

From HandWiki

The Semicircle law[1] states that for transport (extended states) of 2D electron gas in a magnetic field, the macroscopic conductivity tensor σ satisfies the semicircle law.[2]

[math]\displaystyle{ \sigma_1 \sigma_2 +(\sigma_h - \sigma^0_h )=(e^2/(2h)^2 }[/math]

with [math]\displaystyle{ \sigma^0_h = (N + 1/2) e^2 / h }[/math]
