The fractional quantum Hall effect(FQHE) arises from strong correlations between electrons when they are confined to two dimensions and exposed to a strong magnetic field. The underlying physics is the formation of topological particles called composite fermions(CFs), electron-vortex bound states whose integer quantum Hall effect explains a large majority of the observed FQHE states. 2, record 1, English, - composite%20fermion
