Flux quantization and the quantum Hall effect — •Klaus von Klitzing — Max-Planck-Institut für Festkörperforschung, D-70569 Stuttgart

The combination of electrons with flux quanta is an important ingredient for discussions of phenomena related to quantum Hall physics. Especially the introduction of composite fermions (an electron accompanied by an even number of fluxes) is very successful in discussing the fractional quantum Hall effect on the basis of the integer quantum Hall effect. The talk summarizes experimental phenomena in quantum Hall physics where the flux quantization plays an important role.
