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.<b>Contents:</b> <ul><li>Foreword <i>(K von Klitzing)</i></li><li>Preface <i>(B I Halperin and J K Jain)</i></li><li>Thirty Years of Composite Fermions and Beyond <i>(J K Jain)</i></li><li>The Half-Full Landau Level <i>(B I Halperin)</i></li><li>Probing Composite Fermions Near Half-Filled Landau Levels <i>(M Shayegan)</i></li><li>Edge Probes of Topological Order <i>(M Heiblum and D E Feldman)</i></li><li>Exploring Quantum Hall Physics at Ultra-Low Temperatures and at High Pressures <i>(G A Cs&#x00E1;thy)</i></li><li>Correlated Phases in ZnO-Based Heterostructures <i>(J Falson and J H Smet)</i></li><li>Fractional Quantum Hall Effects in Graphene <i>(C Dean, P Kim, J I A Li and A Young)</i></li><li>Wavefunctionology: The Special Structure of Certain Fractional Quantum Hall Wavefunctions <i>(S H Simon)</i></li><li>Engineering Non-Abelian Quasi-Particles in Fractional Quantum Hall States &#x2014; A Pedagogical Introduction <i>(A Stern)</i></li><li>Fractional Quantum Hall States of Bosons: Properties and Prospects for Experimental Realization <i>(N R Cooper)</i></li><li>Index</li></ul><br><b>Readership:</b> Graduate students and researchers interested in the current status of the field that has seen significant progress in the last 10 years.Berry Phase;Fermi Sea;Phase Tranistions;Particle Hole Symmetry;FQHE0<b>Key Features:</b><ul><li>Useful for researchers as well as for newcomers and interested readers who wish to educate themselves on the current status of the field</li><li>Essential aspects of each chapter can be comprehended by any graduate student</li><li>First book to be published in this field in last ten years</li></ul>
