Which effect did Robert B. Laughlin provide an explanation for resulting in a Nobel Prize?
Electron Beam Effect
Quantum Tunneling Effect
Photoelectric Effect
Fractional Quantum Hall Effect
Answer
The Fractional Quantum Hall Effect, for which Robert B. Laughlin received the Nobel Prize, occurs when a two-dimensional electron gas is subjected to a strong magnetic field at very low temperatures. Under these conditions, the electrons exhibit a quantized Hall effect, with the Hall resistance taking on fractional values of the standard quantum unit.
