Abstract
Characteristics of level broadening and transverse conductivity of a two-dimensional electron system under extremely strong fields have been theoretically investigated in the simplest approximation without the difficulty of divergence, i e. in the so-called damping theoretical one. Those of various cases of short- and long-ranged scatterers have been obtained. To see the dependence on the range explicitly, numerical calculation has been performed for the system with scatterers with the Gaussian potential. Especially in case of short-ranged ones the peak value of the transverse conductivity has been shown to be \((N+1/2)e^{2}/\pi^{2}\hbar\) which depends only on the natural constants and the Landau level index. It has been argued from general point of view that this fact is approximately true without reference to kinds of approximations. Such characteristic of the conductivity was confirmed experimentally, but there still remain some problems as to the absolute value of the level width.
