QuantumHall effect today
I present a brief survey of important recent developments in the quantum Hall effect. The review covers both fractional and integer regimes, from an experimentalist’s perspective. The topics include direct measurements of fractional charge, composite fermion Fermi surface, spin textures, and edge state (chiral Luttinger liquid) dynamics.
متن کاملEffective vector-field theory and long-wavelength universality of the fractional quantum Hall effect
We report on an effective vector-field theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect that takes into account projection to Landau levels. The effective theory refers to neither the compositeboson nor composite-fermion picture, but properly reproduces the results consistent with them, thus revealing the universality of the long-wavelength characteristics of the quantum Hall states. In particular,...
متن کاملComposite fermion theory of rapidly rotating two-dimensional bosons
Ultracold neutral bosons in a rapidly rotating atomic trap have been predicted to exhibit fractional quantum Hall-like states. We describe how the composite fermion theory, used in the description of the fractional quantum Hall effect for electrons, can be applied to interacting bosons. Numerical evidence supporting the formation of composite fermions, each being the bound state of a boson and ...
متن کاملFractional Quantum Hall Effect without the Pfaffian Wave Function
It is demonstrated that an understanding of the 5 2 fractional quantum Hall effect can be achieved within the composite fermion theory without appealing to the Pfaffian wave function. The residual interaction between composite fermions plays a crucial role in establishing incompressibility at this filling factor. This approach has the advantage of being amenable to systematic perturbative impro...
متن کاملLuttinger liquids and composite fermions in nanostructures: what is the nature of the edge states in the fractional quantum Hall regime?
We study the Aharonov–Bohm conductance oscillations of a constriction with an antidot in the fractional quantum Hall regime using a recently proposed composite-fermion Fermi liquid theory, and also using Wen’s chiral Luttinger liquid theory extended to include mesoscopic effects. The predictions of the composite-fermion Fermi liquid theory are very similar to standard Fermi liquid theory and ar...
