Such a transition has been attracting a great deal of both experimental and theoretical interests. In this study we present three different two-dimensional electron systems 2DESs which are in the vicinity of nanoscaled scatterers. All these three devices exhibit a direct I-QH transition and the transport properties under different nanaoscaled scatterers are discussed. Introduction The simultaneous presence of disorder and a strong enough magnetic field B can lead to a wide variety of interesting physical phenomena. For example the integer quantum Hall effect is one of the most exciting effects in two-dimensional electron systems 2DES in which the electrons are usually confined in layers of the nanoscale 1 . In an integer quantum Hall QH state the current is carried by the one-dimensional edge channels because of the localization effects. It has been shown that with sufficient amount of disorder a 2DES can undergo a B-induced insulator to quantum Hall transition 2-5 . Experimental evidence for such an insulator-quantum Hall I-QH transition is an approximately temperature T -independent point in the measured longitudinal resistivity of a 2DES 3-5 . The I-QH transition continues to attract a great deal of interest both experimentally and theoretically as it may shed light on .
