Quantum transport in diffusive microstructures in high magnetic fields

We have studied magnetotransport in diffusive submicron wires (n+-GaAs) at high magnetic fields where ωcτ>1. The system allowed us to follow a transition from orthodox mesoscopic behaviour to the regime of edge state transport. We found that for ωcτ>1 the universal conductance fluctuations (UCF) can no longer be scaled in terms of only one parameter, the phase coherence length. This breakdown of universal scaling is seen as a large increase of the Lee-Stone correlation field while the magnitude of UCF is unchanged in strong disagreement with the theoretical prediction. A qualitatively new magnetoresistance oscillatory effect has been observed at intermediate temperatures (10K
