Magnetic field dependences of the transverse (ϱ xx ) and the Hall (ϱ xy ) resistances in the temperature range 0.32 ≦ T ≦ 4.2 K on compensated n‐Hg 0.8 Cd 0.2 Te samples with 0.4 ≦ K ≦ 0.8 and K ⪆ 0.9 are studied. It is shown that the metal–insulator transition in fields H ⪆ H 0 xy ( H 0 xy is the field in which ϱ xy begins to grow sharply) is a result of the separation of the impurity states from the conduction band and is not connected with the Wigner crystallization. The weakening of ϱ xy ( H ) and ϱ xx ( H ) growth in strong magnetic fields with the increase of K may be satisfactorily explained in the framework of inhomogeneous medium theory.
