Abstract

Using different experimental techniques, we examine the dynamical scaling of the quantum Hall plateau transition in a frequency range f=0.1--55 GHz. We present a scheme that allows for a simultaneous scaling analysis of these experiments and all other data in literature. We observe a universal scaling function with an exponent \ensuremathκ=0.5\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi0.1, yielding a dynamical exponent z=0.9\ifmmode±\else\textpm\fi0.2.
