Quantum Hall Effect

  1.   completely quantized 2-D electron gas

  2.   GaAsAlxGa1-xAs MOSFET

  3.   Uses 10T mag. flux dens. at 1K

  4.   Requires calculable capacitor and calibration of resistance.
  5. Thompson/Lampard, 1956/7 electrostatics theorem; cylindrical capacitor, length dependence only. 25cm movement=0.5pF.

  6.   Calculated von Klitzing constant: RK=h/e2=u0c/2

  7.   137.036 0084(33) or 24 ppb. See NIST.
