Abstract
We present a theoretical approach for the integer quantum Hall effect, whic h is able to describe the inter-plateau transitions as well as the transiti on to the Hall insulator. We find two regimes (metalliclike and insulatorli ke) of the top Landau level, in which the dissipative bulk current appears in different directions. The regimes are separated by a temperature-invaria nt point. [S0163-1829(98)01447-7].
