In this article, a review report on experimental studies of fractionally quantized plateaus in semiconductor quantum point contacts and quantum wires, focusing on the 0.7 × 2e(2)/h conductance anomaly, its analogues at higher conductances and the zero-bias peak observed in the dc source-drain bias for conductances less than 2e (2) 2 /h.Abstract:
The integer quantised conductance of one-dimensional electron systems is a well-understood effect of quantum confinement. A number of fractionally quantised plateaus are also commonly observed. They are attributed to many-body effects, but their precise origin is still a matter of debate, having attracted considerable interest over the past 15 years. This review reports on experimental studies of fractionally quantised plateaus in semiconductor quantum point contacts and quantum wires, focusing on the 0.7 × 2e(2)/h conductance anomaly, its analogues at higher conductances and the zero-bias peak observed in the dc source-drain bias for conductances less than 2e(2)/h.read more

Talking through the continuum: New manifestations of Fano‐resonance phenomenology realized with mesoscopic nanostructures
S. Xiao,S. Xiang,Y. Yoon,M.-G. Kang,Michio Kida,Nobuyuki Aoki,John L. Reno,Yuichi Ochiai,Lev G. Mourokh,Jonas Fransson,Jonathan P. Bird,Jonathan P. Bird +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate a highly flexible system for the investigation of Fano resonances by making measurements of non-locally coupled pairs of QPCs, one of which is used to form the discrete state needed for the Fano resonance, while the other serves as a detector whose conductance is sensitive to the energy of this state.

TL;DR: In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the shape of the 2s2p^{1}P resonance of He observed in the inelastic scattering of electrons is presented. But the analysis is restricted to the case of one discrete level with two or more continua and of a set of discrete levels with one continuum.

New Method for High-Accuracy Determination of the Fine-Structure Constant Based on Quantized Hall Resistance
TL;DR: In this article, the Hall voltage of a two-dimensional electron gas, realized with a silicon metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistor, was measured and it was shown that the Hall resistance at particular, experimentally well-defined surface carrier concentrations has fixed values which depend only on the fine-structure constant and speed of light, and is insensitive to the geometry of the device.

Localized Magnetic States in Metals
TL;DR: In this article, the conditions necessary in metals for the presence or absence of localized moments on solute ions containing inner shell electrons are analyzed, and a self-consistent Hartree-Fock treatment is applied to show that there is a sharp transition between the magnetic state and the nonmagnetic state, depending on the density of states of free electrons, the $s\ensuremath{-}d$ admixture matrix elements, and the Coulomb correlation integral in the $d$ shell.
