  • Condensed and Living Matter Seminar: “Shining Light On Fractional Charges”

    David Rittenhouse Lab, 2N3 209 S 33rd St, Philadelphia, PA, United States

    Xiaodong Xu Professor of Physics & Professor of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Washington Research Synopsis: Fractionalization of the electron charge is one of the most striking phenomena arising from strong electron-electron interactions. A celebrated example is the emergence of anyons with fractionally charged excitations in fractional quantum Hall effect (FQH) states. Recently, fractional...
