Experimental results of the breakdown of the integer quantum Hall effect (QHE) measured at Gakushuin University for butterfly-type Hall bar samples fabricated from GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure wafers with various electron concentrations and mobilities show that the onset of the breakdown of the QHE is caused by average current density or average Hall electric field. The result supports the idea that the edge channel picture is not a realistic description of the QHE. The critical breakdown Hall fields (i = 2 and 4) and (i = 1 and 3) are proportional to where B is the magnetic field at the centre of each quantized Hall plateau. The effective g-factor in this 2D system in strong magnetic fields is evaluated as from the experimental result assuming .
