The scaling physics of quantum Hall transport in optimized topological insulators with a plateau precision ofis considered. Two exponential scaling regimes are observed in temperature-dependent transport dissipation, one of which accords with thermal-activation behavior with a gap of 2.8 meV (>20 K), the other being attributed to variable-range hopping (1–20 K). Magnetic-field-driven plateau-to-plateau transition gives scaling relations ofandwith a consistent exponent ofκ∼ 0.2, which is half the universal value for a conventional two-dimensional electron gas. This is evidence of percolation assisted by quantum tunneling and reveals the dominance of electron-electron interaction of the topological surface states.
