Fractional quantum Hall effect

The fractional quantum Hall effect (fractional QHE or FQHE) is the observation of precisely quantized plateaus in the Hall conductance of 2-dimensional (2D) electrons at fractional values of e 2 / h {\displaystyle e^{2}/h} , where e is the electron charge and h is the Planck constant. At the same time, longitudinal resistance drops to zero (for low enough temperatures) as for the integer QHE. It is a property of a collective state in which electrons bind magnetic flux lines to make new quasiparticles, and excitations have a fractional elementary charge and possibly also fractional statistics.
