Abstract
The influence of dissipative scattering on the integer quantum Hall ef fect is investigated numerically. Dissipation is implemented by connec ting the sample to auxiliary phase-destroying electron reservoirs. Our calculations reveal a surprising stability of the Hall plateaus again st dissipation, even in the regime of strong backscattering.
