Key Features

  • Quantization of Hall resistance
  • Observed in 2D electron systems
  • Dependence on magnetic field strength

Pros

  • Highly accurate and reproducible phenomenon
  • Useful for metrology applications
  • Leads to discovery of new states of matter

Cons

  • Requires low temperatures for observation
  • Complex theoretical explanation
