It has various applications in the fields like metrology and topological quantum computers. It also provides an extremely precise and independent determination of the fine-structure constant-a quantity of fundamental importance in quantum electrodynamics. This book attempts to present concepts of QHE to undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, and teachers taking advanced courses on condensed matter physics. The author has tried to integrate all the important concepts of QHE like graphene, the connection between topology and condensed matter physics, the prospects of next-generation storage devices based on the manipulation of spins (spintronic) and present them in a lucid manner. It offers the advantage of providing a pedagogical presentation to help students with some intermediate steps in derivation. Th starts with an introduction to the experimental discovery of the QHE that segues into the basics of 2DEG in a magnetic field. The physics of the Landau levels, their properties, and their relevance to the integer QHE are discussed. The importance of conduction and its connection to topological insulators is also emph
