Abstract

The application of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to study the discoveries of the quantum hall effect (QHE) was discussed. The impact of QHE in the study of electron density and electron mobility was also discussed. The importance of MBE vacuum quality in improving the electron mobility and electron density was also studied. The future of QHE physics was also presented.
