Title:

Informal Seminar on Disorder and strong electron correlations: "Electronic transport in an array of quasi-particles in a non-abelian quantum Hall state"

Start Time:

11:00

Location:

ICTP (Main Building Room 239)

Speaker(s):

A. Stern (The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot)

Description:

A quantized Hall effect that is observed at a Landau filling of nu=5/2 is believed to be well explained by the Moore-Read Pfaffian state, whose excitations obey non-abelian statistics. In this work, carried out with Eytan Grosfeld, we study electronic transport at a Landau filling that slightly deviates from nu=5/2, with the goal of proposing experimentally accessible signatures of the non-abelian nature of the excitations.
