Mentor: Imran Mirza, Ph.D. In this poster, we review the integer quantum Hall effect for standard electronic systems. We find that the Hall resistance in 2D materials is quantized into fixed values ...

The Quantum Hall Effect was first observed in 1980 by Klaus von Klitzing, for which he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1985. It occurs in two-dimensional electron gases found in ...

Purdue University doctoral student Yang Xu, lead author of a new research paper on "topological insulators," an emerging class of materials that could make possible "spintronic" devices and practical ...

What is the Hall Effect? The Hall effect is a fundamental phenomenon in physics that occurs when an electric current flows through a conductor in the presence of a magnetic field perpendicular to the ...
