This book was first published in 2007. 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. Investigations into this began 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. This textbook is a self-contained, pedagogical introduction to the physics and experimental manifestations of composite fermions. Ideal ... Read more

Reviews for Composite Fermions
‘Everything you always wanted to know about Composite Fermions by its primary architect and champion. Much gorgeous theory, of course, but also an excellent collection of the relevant experimental data. For the initiated, an illuminating account of the relationship between Composite Fermion model and other models on stage. For the novice, a lucid presentation and dozens of valuable exercises.’ ...
