We consider recent experimental results [W. Pan {\it et al}, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 90}, 016801 (2003)] for occurrence of the fractional quantum Hall effect-FQHE under the perspective of our formulation in terms of {\it fractons}. These…
We construct a periodically time-dependent Hamiltonian with a phase transition in the quantum Hall universality class. One spatial dimension can be eliminated by introducing a second incommensurate driving frequency, so that we can study…
We present precision measurements of the fractional quantized Hall effect where the quantized resistance $R^{[1/3]}$ in the fractional quantum Hall state at filling factor 1/3 was compared with a quantized resistance $R^{[2]}$, represented…
The scaling theory of the transitions between plateaus of the Hall conductivity in the integer Quantum Hall effect is reviewed. In the model of two-dimensional noninteracting electrons in strong magnetic fields the transitions are…
Comment on A.M.Chang et al, PRL 86, 143 (2001).
Motivated by a mean-field approach, which has been employed for anyon superfluidity and the fractional quantum Hall effect, the quantum Hall effect (QHE) of hard-core bosons is investigated. It is shown that QHE is possible {\em only} in…
The integer quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect is a lattice analog of the quantum Hall effect at zero magnetic field. This striking transport phenomenon occurs in electronic systems with topologically nontrivial bands and spontaneous…
We consider the quantum phase transitions of fractons in correspondence with the quantum phase transitions of the fractional quantum Hall effect-FQHE. We have that the Hall states can be modelled by fractons, known as charge-flux systems…
We provide details of a shorter letter and cond-mat/9702098 and some new results. We describe a Chern-Simons theory for the fractional quantum Hall states in which magnetoplasmon degrees of freedom enter. We derive correlated wavefunctions,…
We study the fractional quantum Hall effect in a bilayer with charge-distribution imbalance induced, for instance, by a bias gate voltage. The bilayer can either be intrinsic or it can be formed spontaneously in wide quantum wells, due to…
Electron-electron interactions seem to play a surprisingly small role in the description of the integer quantum Hall effect, considering that for just slightly different filling factors the interactions are of utmost importance causing the…
It is widely believed that integer quantum Hall systems do not have fractional excitations. Here we show the converse to be true for a class of systems where integer quantum Hall effect emerges spontaneously due to the interplay of…
We have compiled some sections of works by L. Zamick and collaborators which we hope will be of interest to the reader.
Up to almost the last two decades all the experimental results concerning the quantum Hall effect (QHE), i.e., the observation of plateaux at integer (IQHE) or fractional (FQHE) values of the constant h/e2, were related to quantum-wells in…
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…
The quantum Hall transition is one of the simplest and most studied quantum phase transitions. Nevertheless, the experimental observation of a new phase in this regime, the quantum Hall insulator, still remains a puzzle since the first…
We find that mesoscopic conductance fluctuations in the quantum Hall regime in silicon MOSFETs display simple and striking patterns. The fluctuations fall into distinct groups which move along lines parallel to loci of integer filling…
These lecture notes are an informal introduction to the theory of computational complexity and its links to quantum computing and statistical mechanics.
Theoretical developments during the past several years have shown that large scale properties of the Quantum Hall system can be successfully described by effective field theories which use the Chern-Simons interaction. In this article, we…
An effective Hamiltonian for the study of the quantum Hall effect is proposed. This Hamiltonian, which includes a ``current-current" interaction has the form of a Hamiltonian for a conformal field theory in the large $N$ limit. An order…
