Previous News for October 1998 Next Quantum physics breakthrough wins Nobel Prize
13 October 1998 Three researchers have won the 1998 Nobel prize for physics for their discovery that electrons acting together in strong magnetic fields can form new types of particles, with charges that are fractions of electron charges. The effect has increased our understanding of quantum physics. According to Laughlin, electrons trapped in a strong magnetic field condense into a exotic new collective state, a quantum fluid, similar to the way in which collective states form in superfluid helium. A quantum of magnetic flux and an electron exist as a quasiparticle that carries the electric current. In Laughlin's theory, the denominator is always odd, so quasiparticles can carry one-third, one-fifth, one-seventh - of the charge on an electron. Laughlin said that he heard he had won in a pre-dawn telephone call from Stockholm. "I went completely bananas and then after I got over the shock I brewed a cup of coffee, " he told NBC television. "I am hoping to use this as a soapbox to tell people how really fantastic nature is and to drive home the idea that there are new things in the world all over the place if you only have eyes to see them." he said.

Electrons in New Guises
Quantum effects become visible
As a young student in 1879 Edwin H. Hall discovered an unexpected phenomenon. He found that if a thin gold plate is placed in a magnetic field at right angles to its surface an electric current flowing along the plate can cause a potential drop at right angles both to the current and the magnetic field (see figure 1). Termed the Hall effect, this takes place because electrically charged particles (in this case electrons) moving in a magnetic field are influenced by a force and deflect laterally. The Hall effect can be used to determine the density of charge carriers (negative electrons or positive holes) in conductors and semi-conductors, and has become a standard tool in physics laboratories the world over.

P ROFESSOR D ANIEL C T SUI
It is no exaggeration to say that Prof. Daniel Tsui is a name well-known to all in Hong Kong. In 1998, Prof. Tsui was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics along with Prof. Horst L. Stormer and Prof. Robert B. Laughlin. He is the sixth Chinese scientist to ever receive this highest honour in scientific research and the first Nobel laureate who received his secondary education in Hong Kong. Prof. Tsui was born the son of a farmer in 1939 in Henan, China. At the age of 12, he was sent by his parents to live with his two elder sisters in Hong Kong. Since then, he has led a fairly independent life. Unfortunately, he was never to see or be reunited with his parents again. Upon arriving in Hong Kong Prof. Tsui entered Pui Ching Middle School. There were a lot of difficulties adjusting to his new life, including learning Cantonese and making a long journey to school every day. Prof. Tsui took all these in his stride and his strengths were soon apparent. He did extremely well in each and every subject at school. Amiable and modest, humorous and cheerful, he was well loved by all of his classmates. In 1957, Prof. Tsui passed the Chinese High School Certification Examination with a distinguished record. He then enrolled in the Special Classes Centre to prepare for the entrance examination of the University of Hong Kong, then the only university in Hong Kong.

Daniel C. Tsui To Share 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics
Princeton, N.J. Daniel Chee Tsui, Arthur Legrand Doty Professor of Electrical Engineering, on Tuesday has won the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics for his 1982 discovery with co-winner Horst L. Stormer, now of Columbia University, of the fractional quantum Hall effect. A third co-winner, Robert B. Laughlin, explained their result the following year. The experiments by Tsui and Stormer led to Laughlin's finding that the electrons in a powerful magnetic field can form a quantum fluid, in which "parts" of an electron can be identified. Tsui's work stems from a 1879 finding by a student, Edwin H. Hall, who discovered a pattern in the flow of electric current when a gold plate is placed in a magnetic field at right angles to its surface. The current flowing along the plate would drop at right angles. This phenomenon, termed the Hall effect, can be used to determine the density of charge carriers in conductors and semi-conductors and is a standard tool in physics laboratories. In Hall's day, such experiments were performed at room temperature with moderate magnetic fields. By the 1970s, researchers could perform experiments at extremely low temperatures, with very powerful magnetic fields. The 1980 experiment by Klaus von Klitzing found that the Hall effect in the semiconductor silicon does not behave in a linear fashion, but instead creates "steps" along the strength of the magnetic field (von Klitzig won the 1985 Nobel Prize for this discovery).

Professor Horst Stormer Shares 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics
Columbia's 58th Nobel Is for Discovery in Electron Behavior by Bob Nelson Horst Stormer, professor of physics and applied physics at Columbia and adjunct director of physical sciences at Bell Laboratories, a unit of Lucent Technologies Corp., in Murray Hill, N.J., will share the 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of bizarre motions of electrons in thin layers of semiconductors. Stonner, a resident of Manhattan who teaches an undergraduate course this term at Columbia, was honored with Daniel Tsui, a professor at Princeton, for discovering a phenomenon known as the fractional quantum Hall effect, and with Robert B. Laughlin, a professor at Stanford, for restating the theoretical explanation of this achievement as a simple equation. Such basic research may eventually help create improved electronic devices such as computer chips or Optoelectronic devices such as solid-state lasers. These structures, only a few hundred atoms across, are of immense technological importance because they will be capable of faster switching speeds and can be used to construct higher-density computer memories than is now possible. The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences cited the trio "for their discovery of a new form of quantum fluid with fractionally charged excitations." They will share the $978,000 prize to be presented Dec. 10 in Stockholm.

for Achievement in Science
Sir Martin Rees, Ph.D.

Astronomer Royal
Royal Society Professor, Institute of Astronomy
Cambridge University, England For his contributions to elucidating the nature of quasars, black holes, X- and gamma-ray sources, and many other phenomena in high-energy astrophysics and cosmology. His original ideas span 30 years, from the prediction of superluminal motion in radio sources to exploding fireballs in gamma-ray bursts, always in fruitful contact with observations. He has broadened understanding of the universe by training dozens of creative younger astrophysicists, inspiring public appreciation of science, and formulating science policy. Sir Martin Rees is one of the world's leading theorists in the field of astrophysics and cosmology. He was the first to propose the fantastic and now widely accepted theory that the engines driving the high-energy, deep-space quasars seen through the Hubble Space Telescope are actually enormous black holes. England's Astronomer Royal, Rees was Plumian Professor of Astronomy and Experimental Philosophy at Cambridge University, and was elected to this chair at the age of 30. He was also president of the British Association for the Advancement of Science and has directed wide-ranging research programs at Cambridge's Institute of Astronomy for the last 20 years. In addition to authoring some 350 research papers and three technical books, Rees has written many general articles on cosmology and its philosophical implications. His latest book, "Before the Beginning," argues that our universe is but one atom in a much larger multiverse.

When Horst Stormer was a boy, he and his brother constructed elaborate sand castles, complete with moats and bridges. In December 1998, at the age of 49, he dined in a palace and conversed with a Queen-he had joined the Nobel nobility.
One of three 1998 Nobel laureates in physics, Dr. Stormer participated in what he termed "a fairy tale for a week." The new Columbia professor, who has a joint appointment in applied physics and physics, shared the Nobel prize with Prof. Daniel Tsui of Princeton, and Prof. Robert B. Laughlin of Stanford. Drs. Stormer and Tsui discovered the fractional quantum Hall effect, and Dr. Laughlin devised the theoretical explanation for its existence.
Dr. Stormer's fairy tale week in Stockholm, Sweden, began in a winter wonderland. "It had snowed overnight and so when I looked out of the hotel, it was gorgeous: the view of the water, the Palace, the streets, everything glistened. It was all lit with candles because the sun doesn't come up until about 10 a.m. It was just beautiful."
In the week of formal dinners and ceremonies honoring their accomplishments, Dr. Stormer singled out the dinner at the Royal Palace as the most exciting.
