Description: The integer and fractional quantum Hall effects arise in two-dimensional electron systems subject to low temperature and high perpendicular magnetic field. The phenomenology of these two effects is rich and provides interesting insight into quantum physics. We present two experimental studies of phenomena in the fractional quantum Hall regime.
Notes: Keywords: breakdown, fractional quantum Hall effect, GaAs, quantum Hall effect, quantum point contact, tunneling.
