Published Paper in Nature Journal
Congratulations to Assistant Professor Yang Shengyuan for the published paper in the Nature Journal.It is the first experimental demonstration of an interesting quantum effect, called the three-dimensional quantum Hall effect. This effect was predicted more than 30 years ago, but has not been observed until this published work.To read the published paper, please click here.

An illustration of the 3D quantum Hall effect. Under enhanced interaction effects, the electrons form a special charge density wave along the applied magnetic field. The interior becomes insulating, while the conduction is through the surface of the material.
