Abstract
The quantum Hall effect is one of the most extensively studied topological effects in solid‐state physics. The transitions between different quantum Hall states exhibit critical phenomena described by universal critical exponents. Numerous numerical finite size scaling studies have focused on the critical exponent ν for the correlation length. In such studies, it is important to take proper account of irrelevant corrections to scaling. Recently, Dresselhaus et al. proposed a new scaling ansatz, which they applied to the two terminal conductance of the Chalker–Coddington model. Herein, their proposal is applied to the previously reported data for the Lyapunov exponents of that model using both polynomial fitting and Gaussian process fitting.
