TL;DR
This paper introduces the fractional quantum Hall effect, explaining its discovery, significance, and the composite fermion model that describes it as an integer quantum Hall effect of composite particles.
Contribution
It provides an overview of the fractional quantum Hall effect and elucidates the composite fermion theory as a key conceptual framework.
Findings
Fractional quantum Hall effect discovered and awarded Nobel prize in 1998.
Composite fermion picture explains fractional effect as integer quantum Hall effect.
Provides foundational understanding of quantum Hall phenomena.
Abstract
We give a brief introduction to the phenomenon of the Fractional Quantum Hall effect, whose discovery was awarded the Nobel prize in 1998. We also explain the composite fermion picture which describes the fractional quantum Hall effect as the integer quantum Hall effect of composite fermions.
