Theory of the quantized hall effect

A review is given of the current state of the theory of the quantum Hall effect. The integer values of the Hall conductance seen in systems with moderate disorder and predicted for systems with periodic modulation are fairly well understood. Charge density wave and Fermi liquid theories of the fract...

Description
Summary:A review is given of the current state of the theory of the quantum Hall effect. The integer values of the Hall conductance seen in systems with moderate disorder and predicted for systems with periodic modulation are fairly well understood. Charge density wave and Fermi liquid theories of the fractional quantization observed in systems with low disorder are briefly described.
