"Scaling properties of the plateau transitions in the two-dimensional hole gas system." <i>Physical Review B,</i> 93, no. 7 (2016) American Physical Society: http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevB.93.075307.https://hdl.handle.net/1911/90581The behavior of phase coherence is studied in two-dimensional hole gas through the integer quantum Hall plateau-to-plateau transition. From the plateau transition as a function of temperature, scaling properties of multiple transitions are analyzed. Our results are in good agreement with the assumption of the zero-point fluctuations of the coherent holes, and support the intrinsic saturation of the coherence time at low temperature limit. The critical exponent p can also be determined under the scheme of the zero-point fluctuations. The similarity and difference in experimental observations between quantum Griffiths singularity and plateau transition is discussed. The spin-orbit coupling effect's influence on the plateau transition is explored by comparing the results from different transitions.engArticle is made available in accordance with the publisher's policy and may be subject to US copyright law.
