Twenty years since the discovery of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect: Current state of the theory
نویسنده
چکیده
The current state of the theory of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect is critically analyzed, especially the generally accepted concept of composite fermions. It is argued that there is no sound theoretical foundation for this concept. A simple one-dimensional model is proposed, which presumably has an energy spectrum similar to that of the FQHE system. —————————————————————

It is demonstrated that all observed fractions at moderate Landau level fillings for the quantum Hall effect can be obtained without recourse to the phenomenological concept of composite fermions. The possibility to have the special topologically nontrivial many-electron wave functions is considered. Their group classification indicates the special values of of electron density in the ground st...

It is demonstrated that the Jain's rule for determining fractions in the quantum Hall effect can be obtained without recourse to the phenomenological concept of composite fermions. The possibility to have the special topologically nontrivial many-electron wave functions is considered. Their group classification indicate the special values of of electron density in the ground states separated by...

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...
متن کاملRealizing Tao-Thouless-like state in fractional quantum spin Hall effect
The quest for exotic quantum states of matter has become one of the most challenging tasks in modern condensed matter communications. Interplay between topology and strong electron-electron interactions leads to lots of fascinating effects since the discovery of the fractional quantum Hall effect. Here, we theoretically study the Rashba-type spin-orbit coupling effect on a fractional quantum sp...
متن کاملP.r. in Quantum Hall Effect Twenty and Thirty Years Later
A previous article [see rf.8] delineated some conceptual complications that have arisen in the wake of a striking display of quantum order known as the quantum Hall effect [1], first discovered in 1980. In its so-called plateau states the nature of this effect is a mixture of induced superconductivity and a one-parameter discreteness of its Hall impedance ZH depending on charge injection. This ...
