Princeton - News - Daniel C. Tsui To Share 1998 Nobel Prize in Physics (710 words) |
 | The experiments by Tsui and Stormer led to Laughlin's finding that the electrons in a powerful magnetic field can form a quantum fluid, in which "parts" of an electron can be identified. |
| Tsui's work stems from a 1879 finding by a student, Edwin H. Hall, who discovered a pattern in the flow of electric current when a gold plate is placed in a magnetic field at right angles to its surface. |
| To their surprise, Tsui and Stormer found that the next step in the Hall resistance was three times higher than von Klitzing's highest recorded step. |

| Daniel Chee Tsui (崔琦 pinyin: Cuī Qí, born February 28, 1939, Henan Province, China) is a Chinese American physicist whose areas of research included electrical properties of thin films and microstructures of semiconductors and solid-state physics. |
| In 1998, along with Horst L. Störmer of Columbia University and Robert Laughlin of Stanford, Daniel Tsui was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for the "discovery of a new form of quantum fluid with fractionally charged excitations" by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. |
| Daniel Tsui attended Pui Ching Middle School, Kowloon, Hong Kong. |
