Quantized dissipation of the quantum Hall effect at high currents

Quantized dissipative voltage states are observed when large currents are passed through a high-quality quantized Hall resistance device. These dissipative states are interpreted as occurring when electrons are excited to higher Landau levels and then return to the original Landau level. The author shows that the quantization is more complicated than previously thought. For example, the quantization can be a function of magnetic field. Therefore, the dissipative voltage quantization can, in general, be difficult to verify and determine.< >
