Abstract
I accurately solve the Schrödinger equation in magnetic field B for a random set of 2D point potentials. When B=0, they yield a mobility edge. When B≠0, all states are localized below a certain energy (B). Above (B), they are extended at the Landau energies. At other energies the localization length is a discontinuous function of B at every rational value of /ch, where d is the average interpotential distance.
