Fractional Quantum Hall Effects

The fractional quantum Hall effect has been one of the most active areas of research in quantum condensed matter physics for nearly four decades, serving as a paradigm for unexpected and exotic emergent behavior arising from interactions. This book, featuring a collection of articles written by experts and a Foreword by Klaus von Klitzing, the discoverer of quantum Hall effect and winner of 1985 Nobel Prize in physics, aims to provide a coherent account of the exciting new developments and the current status of the field.Contents: Foreword (K von Klitzing)Preface (B I Halperin and J K Jain)Thirty Years of Composite Fermions and Beyond (J K Jain)The Half-Full Landau Level (B I Halperin)Probing Composite Fermions Near Half-Filled Landau Levels (M Shayegan)Edge Probes of Topological Order (M Heiblum and D E Feldman)Exploring Quantum Hall Physics at Ultra-Low Temperatures and at High Pressures (G A Csáthy)Correlated Phases in ZnO-Based Heterostructures (J Falson and J H Smet)Fractional Quantum Hall Effects in Graphene (C Dean, P Kim, J I A Li and A Young)Wavefunctionology: The Special Structure of Certain Fractional Quantum Hall Wavefunctions (S H Simon)Engineering Non-Abelian Quasi-Particles in Fractional Quantum Hall States — A Pedagogical Introduction (A Stern)Fractional Quantum Hall States of Bosons: Properties and Prospects for Experimental Realization (N R Cooper)Index
