We give a simple macroscopic phase-space explanation of fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE), in a fashion reminiscent of the Landau-Ginsburg macroscopic symmetry breaking analyses. This is in contrast to the more complicated microscopic…
Fractional conductance is measured by partitioning $\nu = 1$ edge state using gate-tunable fractional quantum Hall (FQH) liquids of filling 1/3 or 2/3 for current injection and detection. We observe two sets of FQH plateaus 1/9, 2/9, 4/9…

Free planar electrons in a uniform magnetic field are shown to possess the symmetry of area-preserving diffeomorphisms ($W$-infinity algebra). Intuitively, this is a consequence of gauge invariance, which forces dynamics to depend only on…
Graphene quantum point contacts (QPCs) in the quantum Hall regime host competing transport mechanisms including chiral edge propagation, valley degeneracy, and gate-induced mode mixing. Their interplay is not visible in conductance alone.…
