Abstract
The quantum Hall effect in a single-mode wire is studied for the first time. It is established that a well-expressed quantum Hall resistance for filling factors i=1 and 2 is observed in magnetic fields in which the magnetic length becomes less than the width of the wire. Breakdown of proportionality with respect to the magnetic field in the arrangement of the Hall quantization plateau and the dissipative conductivity minima is observed.
