Abstract: | It has been shown that the observation of the transitions between the dielectric phase and the integer-quantum-Hall-effect
phases with the quantized Hall conductivity σ

q ≥ 3e
2/h announced in a number of works is unjustified. In these works, the crossing points of the magnetic-field dependence of the
diagonal resistivity ρ

at different temperatures T and ωcτ = 1 have been misidentified as the critical points of the phase transitions. In fact, these crossing points are due to the
sign change of the derivative dρ

/dT owing to the quantum corrections to the conductivity. Here, ωc = eB/m is the cyclotron frequency, τ is the transport relaxation time, and m is the effective electron mass. |
