We report quantum Hall experiments on the plateau-insulator transition in a low mobility In_{.53} Ga_{.47} As/InP heterostructure. The data for the longitudinal resistance rho_{xx} follow an exponential law and we extract a critical exponent kappa= .55 pm .05 which is slightly different from the established value kappa = .42 pm .04 for the plateau transitions. Upon correction for inhomogeneity effects, which cause the critical conductance sigma_{xx}^* to depend marginally on temperature, our data indicate that the plateau-plateau and plateau- insulator transitions are in the same universality class.

The temperature dependence of the magneto-conductivity in graphene shows that the widths of the longitudinal conductivity peaks, for the N=1 Landau level of electrons and holes, display a power-law behavior following $Delta u propto T^{kappa}$ with
a scaling exponent $kappa = 0.37pm0.05$. Similarly the maximum derivative of the quantum Hall plateau transitions $(dsigma_{xy}/d u)^{max}$ scales as $T^{-kappa}$ with a scaling exponent $kappa = 0.41pm0.04$ for both the first and second electron and hole Landau level. These results confirm the universality of a critical scaling exponent. In the zeroth Landau level, however, the width and derivative are essentially temperature independent, which we explain by a temperature independent intrinsic length that obscures the expected universal scaling behavior of the zeroth Landau level.
Using different experimental techniques we examine the dynamical scaling of the quantum Hall plateau transition in a frequency range f = 0.1-55 GHz. We present a scheme that allows for a simultaneous scaling analysis of these experiments and all othe
r data in literature. We observe a universal scaling function with an exponent kappa = 0.5 +/- 0.1, yielding a dynamical exponent z = 0.9 +/- 0.2.
The phase transitions from one plateau to the next plateau or to an insulator in quantum Hall and quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) systems have revealed universal scaling behaviors. A magnetic-field-driven quantum phase transition from a QAH insulator to
an axion insulator was recently demonstrated in magnetic topological insulator sandwich samples. Here, we show that the temperature dependence of the derivative of the longitudinal resistance on magnetic field at the transition point follows a characteristic power-law that indicates a universal scaling behavior for the QAH to axion insulator phase transition. Similar to the quantum Hall plateau to plateau transition, the QAH to axion insulator transition can also be understood by the Chalker-Coddington network model. We extract a critical exponent k~ 0.38 in agreement with recent high-precision numerical results on the correlation length exponent of the Chalker-Coddington model at v ~ 2.6, rather than the generally-accepted value of 2.33.
We report a current scaling study of a quantum phase transition between a quantum anomalous Hall insulator and a trivial insulator on the surface of a heterostructure film of magnetic topological insulators. The transition was observed by tilting the
magnetization while measuring the Hall conductivity $sigma_{xy}$. The transition curves of $sigma_{xy}$ taken under various excitation currents cross each other at a single point, exemplifying a quantum critical behavior of the transition. The slopes of the transition curves follow a power law dependence of the excitation current, giving a scaling exponent. Combining with the result of the previous temperature scaling study, critical exponents $ u$ for the localization length and $p$ for the coherence length are separately evaluated as $ u$ = 2.8 $pm$ 0.3 and $p$ = 3.3 $pm$ 0.3.
We demonstrate a new method for locally probing the edge states in the quantum Hall regime utilizing a side coupled quantum dot positioned at an edge of a Hall bar. By measuring the tunneling of electrons from the edge states into the dot, we acquire
information on the local electrochemical potential and electron temperature of the edge states. Furthermore, this method allows us to observe the spatial modulation of the electrostatic potential at the edge state due to many-body screening effect.
