Transport Spectroscopy of Confined Fractional Quantum Hall Systems
Langbeschreibung
This book provides an overview of recent developments in experiments probing the fractional quantum Hall (FQH) states of the second Landau level, especially theu=5/2 state. It summarizes the state-of-the-art understanding of these FQH states. It furthermore describes how the properties of the FQH states can be probed experimentally, by investigating tunneling and confinement properties. The progress towards the realization of an experiment, allowing to probe the potentially non-Abelian statistics of the quasiparticle excitations atu=5/2 is discussed.The book is intended as a reference for graduate students, PostDocs and researchers starting in the field. The experimental part of this book gives practical advice for solving the experimental challenges which researchers studying highly fragile FQH states are faced with.

Introduction.- Fundamentals of Quantum Hall Physics and Relevant Experiments.- Setup and Sample Optimization.- Quantum Point Contact Experiments.- Quantum Dot and Interferometer Experiments.- Conclusion.
Stephan Baer studied physics at ETH Zürich and at the ENS Paris. He was awarded an ETH medal for his MSc work on electron-phonon interaction in graphene nanostructures. During his PhD, he investigated the properties of fractional quantum Hall states in confined geometries, such as quantum point contacts, quantum dots and interferometers. The emphasis of this work lies on exploring the properties of exotic fractional quantum Hall states, like theu = 5/2 state. Since 2014, he continues his research at ETH Zürich as a PostDoc.
