High magnetic fields have, for a long time, been an
important tool in the investigation of the electronic
structure of semiconductors. In recent yearsstudies of
heterostructures and superlattices have predominated, and
this emphasis is reflected in these proceedings. The
contributions concentrate on experiments using transport and
optical methods, but recent theoretical developments are
also covered. Special attention is paid to the quantum Hall
effect, including the problem of edge currents, the
influence of contacts, and Wigner condensation in the
fractional quantum Hall effect regime.
The 27 invited contributions by renowned expertsprovide an
excellent survey of the field that is complemented by
numerous contributed papers.
