fractional quantum Hall effect

[¦frak·shən·əl ′kwän·təm ′hȯl i‚fekt]

(electronics)

The version of the quantum Hall effect in which the Hall resistance becomes precisely equal to h /(p / q) e ², where h is Planck's constant, e is the electronic charge, q is an odd integer, and p is an integer not divisible by q.
