Abstract
We have prepared a series of thin indium films whose disorder is systematically introduced, and measured the temperature-dependent and magnetic-field-dependent Hall resistance Rxy as well as the longitudinal resistance Rxx at low temperatures. By increasing the field at fixed disorder, we have found, in addition to a usual critical field BxxC where Rxx(T→0)→∞, another critical field BxyC (>BxxC) where Rxy(T→0) diverges. With increasing disorder, BxxC decreases faster than BxyC, thus the region BxxCxyC as the critical disorder is approached. We suggest a possibility that the region BxxCxyC corresponds to the Bose-insulator phase.
