“Forbidden” transitions between quantum Hall and insulating phases in p-SiGe heterostructures

We show that in dilute metallic p-SiGe heterostructures, magnetic field can cause multiple quantum Hall-insulator-quantum Hall transitions. The insulating states are observed between quantum Hall states with filling factors = 1 and 2 and, for the first time, between = 2 and 3 and between = 4 and 6....
