| Sumario: | "When electrons are confined to two dimensions, cooled to near absolute zero temperature, and subjected to a strong magnetic field, they form an exotic new collective state of matter, which rivals superfluidity and superconductivity in both its scope and the elegance of the phenomena associated with it. Investigations into this state began in the 1980s with the observations of integral and fractional quantum Hall effects, which are among the most important discoveries in condensed matter physics. The fractional quantum Hall effect and a stream of other unexpected findings are explained by a new class of particles: composite fermions. A self-contained and pedagogical introduction to the physics and experimental manifestations of composite fermions, this textbook is ideal for graduate students and academic researchers in this rapidly developing field. The topics covered include the integral and fractional quantum Hall effects, the composite fermion Fermi sea, geometric observations of composite fermions, various kinds of excitations, the role of spin, edge state transport, electron solid, and bilayer physics. The author also discusses fractional braiding statistics and fractional local charge. This textbook contains numerous exercises to reinforce the concepts presented in the book."--Publisher's description |
