COMPOSITE FERMIONS
A Unified View of the Quantum Hall Regime

edited by O Heinonen (University of Central Florida)

One of the most exciting recent developments to have emerged from the quantum Hall effect is the subject of composite fermions. This important volume gives a self-contained, comprehensive description of the subject, including fundamentals, more advanced theoretical work, and results from experimental observations of composite fermions.


Contents:

  • Composite Fermions: Particles of the Lowest Landau Level (J K Jain & R K Kamilla)
  • The Chern-Simons Fermi Liquid Description of Fractional Quantum Hall States (S H Simon)
  • Fermionic Chern-Simons Field Theory for the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (A Lopez & E Fradkin)
  • Field Theory of the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect (G Murthy & R Shankar)
  • Composite-Fermion Approach to the Edge State Transport (G Kirczenow & B L Johnson)
  • Composite Fermions — Experimental Findings (R L Willett)
  • Ballistic Transport of Composite Fermions in Semiconductor Nanostructures (J H Smet)
