QUANTUM HALL EFFECT AND OHM METROLOGY

    https://doi.org/10.1142/S0217979209062360Cited by:7 (Source: Crossref)

    The quantum Hall effect (QHE) discovery has revolutionized the ohm metrology: the representation of the unit of resistance is now universal and the ohm can be maintained in each national metrology institute with a relative uncertainty of one part in 109. This breakthrough also results from the development of resistance comparison bridges using cryogenic current comparator (CCC). The fundamental properties of the QHE allow the realization of Quantum Hall Array Resistance Standards (QHARS) by combining a large number of single Hall bars connected in series and/or in parallel. These standards can be as accurate as a single Hall bar. More generally, the multiple connection technique allows metrologists to design useful circuits based on quantum Hall resistors like voltage dividers or Wheatstone bridges. The QHE Wheatstone bridge is particularly suitable for comparing quantum standards. By detecting the unbalance current of this bridge with a CCC, new universality tests of the QHE with a target uncertainty less than 1011 can be realized.
