Abstract
The quantum Hall effect is one of the most remarkable phenomena in condensed matter physics discovered in the second half of the 20th century. In 1980 Klaus von Klitzing [1], who was investigating the magneto-galvanometric properties of the two-dimensional electron gas in high quality Silicon MOSFET in presence of high magnetic field, observed plateaus at integer multiples of the fundamental conductance quantum e2=h in the Hall conductance and a vanishing longitudinal resistivity at a very low temperature (≈ 1o K). This phenomena is known as Integer Quantum Hall Effect (IQHE) (see Fig. 1).
