The breakdown of the dissipationless conductance in the integer and fractional quantum Hall effect regime is reviewed. The temperature dependence of the critical current and of the critical magnetic field at breakdown bears a striking resemblance to the phase diagram of the phenomenological two-fluid Gorter-Casimir model for superconductivity. In addition, a remarkably simple scaling law exists between different filling factors.
