Low frequency noise in the integral quantum hall effect
TL;DR: In this article, the bias dependence of low frequency noise in GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs single interface heterostructures in the integral quantum Hall regime has been examined and it has been shown that the current dependence of the noise can differ significantly from the dependence expected from bulk resistance fluctuations.
