More revision tutes

Is it possible to have a couple more tutes to go through the practice questions we have? I.e. maybe the usual tute time on wednesday this week and next week, and maybe a third if there is a consensus?

Appliation of quantum hall effect in electronic devices

Half integer quantum hall effect in graphene

Half integer quantum hall effect in is one of the most outstanding discovery in condensed matter in the second half of the twenty first century. The difference emerges from the unique electronic properties of graphene, which reveals
electron–hole degeneracy and vanishing carrier mass near the point of charge neutrality. This unique behaviour of electrons opens up for new application in carbon based electric and magnetic field-effect technology, for example, aplication in ballistic or metallic/semiconducting graphene ribbon devices and electric field effective spin transport devices using a spin-polarized edge state.

BECs and BCS

http://jfi.uchicago.edu/~qchen/Papers/PhysRep412p1-88.pdf

This is a (lengthy) paper which looks at some similarities/differences between BECs and BCS theory for superconductors. Its a bit long to go through all of it, but the introduction is quite interesting in raising some ideas, about how BECs and BCS superconductors show properties which are two sides of the same coin.
