I review some aspects of an alternative model of the quantum Hall effect, which is not based on the presence of disorder potentials. Instead, a quantization of the electronic drift current in the presence of crossed electric and magnetic…
The fractional quantum Hall effect is observed at low field, in a regime where the cyclotron energy is smaller than the Coulomb interaction. The nu=5/2 excitation gap is measured to be 262+/-15 mK at ~2.6 T, in good agreement with previous…
We study theoretically the dispersion of a single quasiparticle or quasihole of the fractional quantum Hall effect, obtained by injecting or removing a composite fermion. By comparing to a free fermion system, we estimate the regime of…

In the framework of a recently developed model of interacting composite fermions, we calculate the energy of different solid and Laughlin-type liquid phases of spin-polarized composite fermions. The liquid phases have a lower energy than…
