摘要
We study vertical transport through GaAs/AlGaAs multilayer samples in the regime of the integer quantum Hall effect. We find that the bulk contribution to the measured conductance has the temperature dependence expected for variable-range hopping, while the magnetic field dependence of the localization length is qualitatively similar to that found in two-dimensional quantum Hall systems. The results suggest that vertical transport through the bulk of this layered system takes place by in-plane hopping to interlayer tunneling sites.
