Magnetic moment saturation, which is usually attributed to the QHE breakdown, is shown to be related to the charge redistribution across the sample.5 pages, 2 figures, Proceedings of the 11th International Symposium "Nanostructures: Physics and Technology", St.Petersburg, Russia, June 23-28, 2003, expanded version with one figure addedMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsInduced currents, frozen charges and the quantum Hall effect breakdowntext
