Doctoral Dissertations
The discovery of the quantum Hall effect in 1980 opened to physics one of the simplest systems for studying many-body correlations. Numerical techniques and trial wavefunctions have proven useful for describing the novel collective behavior of the electrons, but have not fully explained all features of the fractional quantum Hall effect. For example, it is predicted that Landau level mixing should have a moderate effect on the system for all but the very strongest magnetic fields, but this effect has not been extensively studied. Among the tools most useful to modeling and describing the quantum Hall system is the Haldane …
