(a,b) σxy at T=40 mK under various B as a function of effective gate voltage VGVCNP for the x=0.84 (a) and x=0.88 (b) films. Traces for lower magnetic fields are each vertically offset by e2/h. Dotted lines represent the plateau transitions as defined at σxy=±0.5 e2/h. (c,d) Quantized σxy phase diagram for the ν=+1, 0 and −1 (blue, green and red shaded, respectively) states associated with the plateau edges (filled squares) and the plateau transition point (filled circles) defined at σxy=±0.5 e2/h in the plane of magnetic field and VGVCNP. The plateau edges are determined by the second-order VG derivative of σxy.
