Observation of fractional quantum Hall effect in an InAs quantum well

Observation of the fractional quantum Hall effect in GaAs-(Ga,A1)As quantum well structures

Fractional quantum Hall effect in an array of quantum wires.

We demonstrate the emergence of the quantum Hall (QH) hierarchy in a 2D model of coupled quantum wires in a perpendicular magnetic field. At commensurate values of the magnetic field, the system can develop instabilities to appropriate interwire electron hopping processes that drive the system into a variety of QH states. Some of the QH states are not included in the Haldane-Halperin hierarchy....

The fractional quantum Hall effect.

Recent research has uncovered a fascinating quantum liquid made up solely of electrons confined to a plane surface. Found only at temperatures near absolute zero and in extremely strong magnetic fields, this liquid can flow without friction. The excited states of this liquid consist of peculiar particle-like objects that carry an exact fraction of an electron charge. Called quasiparticles, thes...

The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect

Their citation reads “ for their discovery of a new form of quantum fluid with fractionally charged excitations”. In this talk, I will try to describe this new form of quantum fluid and its fractionally charged excitations. However, since I am speaking to a general audience and the phenomenon of the fractional quantum Hall effect may not be familiar to all, I will start my talk with a brief int...
